Setting default BoxChart property values

I am trying to set default values for properties BoxChart objects.

As an example, I tried the following:

set(groot,'defaultBoxChartBoxWidth',0.7)

Error using matlab.ui.Root/set
boxchartboxwidth is an invalid class name

which does not work. On further inspection, it seems that 'BoxChart' is not recognized as a class:

get(groot,'defaultBoxChart')

This returns:

Error using matlab.ui.Root/get
boxchart is an invalid class name

This is working fine for other graphics objects, like 'Line' and 'Scatter', but not for 'BoxChart'.

What is the correct way to set default property values for BoxChart objects?

You can use the dot notation to control the appearance and behaviour of a boxchart object.

for example:-

b = boxchart(rand(10,1));
b.BoxWidth = 0.8

I am aware of this. My question is about setting the default parameters of BoxChart, such that all future boxchart objects will have the specified boxwidth without having to set it every time.
