Hello,
I have a function which adjusts some properties of figures after they have been plotted. The function takes the axes graphical object as argument. It goes like this:
function MakeItLookPretty(ax)
ax.YAxis.FontName='Open Sans Bold'
ax.YAxis.FontSize=13
ax.XAxis.TickLength=[0 0]
% and so on...
end
I used to be able to call the function:
axes = gca
This statement is not inside any function.
(It follows the END that terminates the definition of the function "MakeItLookPretty".)
MakeItLookPretty(axes)
and it adjusted properties of axes of the current figure. This, however, stopped working since I updated to MATLAB2023b. Calling the function does not throw an error, it seemingly does nothing. Interestingly, if I run the block of code "standalone" (not inside a function) it adjusts the axes perfectly.
What am I missing?

Do not name your variables "axes".
It works on this forum:
matlabRelease
ans =
matlabRelease with properties: Release: "R2023b" Stage: "release" Update: 5 Date: 01-Dec-2023
plot(rand(5,2))
MakeItLookPretty(gca)
function MakeItLookPretty(ax)
ax.YAxis.FontName='Open Sans Bold';
ax.YAxis.FontSize=13;
ax.XAxis.TickLength=[0,0];
% and so on...
end

Yep, it works, the problem was something else entirely. Thank you & sorry to have wasted your time.

% Call the sample plotting function
createSamplePlot();
% Sample plotting function
function createSamplePlot()
% Create some sample data
x = linspace(0, 2*pi, 100);
y = sin(x);
% Plot the data
plot(x, y);
title('Sample Plot');
% Get the current axes handle
ax = gca;
% Call the custom function to make the plot look pretty
MakeItLookPretty(ax);
end
% Custom function to modify the appearance of the plot
function MakeItLookPretty(ax)
% Modify various properties of the axes
ax.YAxis.FontName = 'Open Sans Bold';
ax.YAxis.FontSize = 13;
ax.XAxis.TickLength = [0 0];
% Add more customization as needed...
end
