I have a horizontal colobar and my goal is to set the tick labels of my colorbar, so that they won't tilt. Here is a screenshot of the current problem:

I tried the below but it did not work:

set(cb, 'yTickLabelRotation', 0);

If a smaller font size is a option (I realise that it might not be since this is for publication), experiment with that.

在 MATLAB Online 中打开

They've hidden some of the ruler properties -- you have to use/access the underlying numeric ruler properties --

cb.Ruler.TickLabelRotation=0;

will let you at 'em. Search the FEX for Yair Altman's <Undocumented object properties> that will uncover what can be found of hidden properties from various graphics objects to find out such things.

I do wish TMW would get over this penchant of hiding stuff that users might still want to modify for special purposes/plots; it only seems to be getting worse and worse with "Mother knows best!" mentality.

Works like a charm! Thanks a bunch.

Very helpful, thank you! And I totally agree re undocumented properties. Having good documentation is an essential part of our decision to keep on using MATLAB instead of switching to another software package.
