How can I change the axes properties in GUI created by guide?

Hello there

I change the Inspector setting for axes in my GUI. After running the GUI figure, the font size and the range is the same as the one I have already specified. But when I implement the GUI, the plot shows in the axes with different font size!

the following in the push-button plots the figure.

axes(handles.axes1)
plot(x, pcenergy);

pcenergy is the dataset.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hessam - what do you mean by ..and the range? I created a simple GUI, set the font size through the inspector, run the GUI and plotted some data on the axes, and there were no changes to the font sizes.

If you want to reset the font size, then try adding the following line after your plot command

 set(handles.axes1,'FontSize',14);

or whatever your preferred font size is.

First: sorry for being late in response. I mean: I go to the "Inspector" window for the axes, and change the font size, minor/major grid lines of the axes. and the changes are effective at the GUI. But when I run the GUI and the figure is plotted, the font size and everything else' setting are back to the default ones!!

Hi,

you can change the default font size directly in Matlab.

in your OpeningFcn, you can add

set(0,'DefaultUicontrolFontSize',15)

So every button you create, will automatically be set with this font size.

Hi there

But, I do not want to Change the font of everything consistently. As I said, I do not know how to keep the setting in the Inspector window, consistent.

Calling plot will clear some of the axes settings. You could either use hold on to hold the axes properties or instead of calling plot, call line directly.
