How can I disable font smoothing by default for all text , legend, marker, axes object within a plot?

How can I disable font smoothing by default for all text , legend, marker, axes object within a plot?

Smoothed Text object , legends, Datamarkers, axes labels look very poor and blurry currently.

How can this be turned off by default ?

Don't want to apply this to all figures on a singular base.

Thank you for your help.

You can try the following commands

set(groot,'defaultAxesFontSmoothing', 'off'); 
set(groot,'defaultTextFontSmoothing', 'off'); 

And if you want the change to be persistent you can put those two commands in the ‘startup.m’ file.

At this point you can not turn of the font smoothing for legends but it should be available in upcoming version soon.

Thank you for the answer, but Text in Data Marker still look annoying blurry....

Try refrencing the object of the graph you want as a child of the graph as follows:

plot(1:10) 
[h,objs] = legend('one') 
objs(1).FontSmoothing='off'

This is working on single figure basis, it is not working as a default setting.

Meaning you would have to add code for every single figure, or apply this afterwards, aafter inserting a legend.

How annoying...

My example above is showing a data tip not a legend.

With a data tip your code is not working at all.

What to do ?
