Is it possible to set the default font size for shared axis labels in Tiled Layouts?

6 views (last 30 days)
I tried the following code, but it does not affect the font size for shared titles and axis labels in TiledChartLayout objects.
set(groot,'defaultAxesFontSize',16);
t = tiledlayout(2,1);
t.XLabel.String = 'x-axis label';
t.YLabel.String = 'y-axis label';
t.Title.String = 'title';
nexttile();
plot(1:10);
nexttile();
plot(1:10);
plot generated from above code
I also tried to set default properties for Text objects because the XLabel and YLabel properties of TiledLayoutChart objects are Text objects,
set(groot,'defaultTextFontSizeMode','manual');
set(groot,'defaultTextFontSize',16);
but these 2 lines did not affect any of the text in the example figure shown above. I double-checked default values for groot and called
reset(groot);
to make sure that no other default property values defined by me could potentially conflict with the example code shown above.

Just additionally use
set(groot,'defaultAxesFontSizeMode','manual');
with the specification of the 'defaultTextFontSizeMode' to 'manual'. Then it maybe should work fine.
So maybe
myfontsize = 16;
set(groot,'defaultAxesFontSizeMode','manual')
set(groot,'defaultTextFontSizeMode','manual')
set(groot,'defaultAxesFontSize',myfontsize)
set(groot,'defaultTextFontSize',myfontsize)
should do the trick.

Use this instead:
set(gca, 'FontSize', 16.0);
