MATLAB: Text style in Matlab

text style

is it possible to personalize the text style in Matlab, such as 'Arial', 'times new romane', etc?

if not, can anyone tell me what is the default text style in Matlab?

Thanks!

Set the FontName property. Here are some examples.

title('myTitle', 'FontName', 'Times')
xlabel('myLabel', 'FontName', 'Arial')
set(gca, 'FontName', 'Gotham')

To get a list of available fonts:

listfonts

To set the default fonts,

set(0, 'DefaultAxesFontName', 'Arial');
% or any of the following...
'defaultUicontrolFontName'
'defaultUitableFontName'
'defaultAxesFontName'
'defaultTextFontName'
'defaultUipanelFontName'

The font name is 'Arial' not 'Ariel'...

You can change the font by

 set(gca, 'FontName', 'Arial')

On one of the Matlab help page says: Note that MATLAB does not display the x-, y-, and z-axis labels in a new font until you manually reset them (by setting the XLabel, YLabel, and ZLabel properties or by using the xlabel, ylabel, or zlabel command). Tick mark labels change immediately.

So for the labels you need to put the x/ylabel commands after you change the font to arial.

MATLAB: The default interpreter for the ‘title’ command is ‘tex’. How can the default be changed to ‘latex’

ax = gca;
ax.Title.String = '';
ax.Title.Interpreter = 'latex';
set(groot,'DefaultAxesTitle', ax.Title);

This is a complete title() object that gets set.

Each time you create a new axes, it will set the axes Title object to the object that was created. This will set the Parent of the Title object to be the appropriate axes, which will stop it from displaying where it was and start displaying it in the new axes. Any change in the new axes (such as to the string) will affect the properties for all of the other axes it is set to, because all of those axes will have handles to the same Title object. delete() of any one of the references will delete it for all of the references.

You will probably find this highly unsatisfactory... but you asked ;-)

There does not appear to be any way to set just the Interpreter property by the groot/default mechanism. This is unfortunate.
