How to change text size in boxplot
显示 更早的评论
Hi,
Would anybody know how to change the size of the font on the x-axis labels in a boxplot. For example I want to make the label "Urban Congested" larger?
I cannot figure out how to do it in the axis property editor.
Thank you

I can think of two ugly hacks that work ...
The first is to set the default font size of all text labels for the plot
h = figure;
set(h, 'DefaultTextFontSize', 30);
load carsmall
boxplot(MPG, Origin);
The second is to change the text label after plotting
load carsmall
h = boxplot(MPG, Origin);
set(findobj(get(h(1), 'parent'), 'type', 'text'), 'fontsize', 30);
It is not clear to me what boxplot is actually returning. It is an array of handles, when I would have expect the group. My guess is if you look through the code of boxplot you can find a cleaner way.
EDIT
If you only have the figure file
hFig = figure;
load carsmall
boxplot(MPG, Origin);
saveas(hFig, 'temp_figure');
close(hFig);
You can open the figure and get the handle to the figure
hFig = open('temp_figure.fig');
The goal is then to find the boxplot object. Unfortunately, the boxplot object this is just an hggroup object and there might be lots of hggroup objects which are not boxplot objects. I don't know how to figure out if an hggroup object is actually a boxplot object. You can however, click around and select objects until gco works:
set(findobj(get(gco, 'Children'), 'type', 'text'), 'fontsize', 30);

boxplot([LEAD,own],'Notch','on','Labels',{'LEAD','OWN'});
set(gca,'XTick',1:2)%2 because only exists 2 boxplot
set(gca,'XTickLabel',{'LEAD','OWN'},'FontSize',20)

Thanks Daniel Shub. The second way really works very well.
