Figure settings

Hi, Plots in matlab dont look good for printing! Want an m-file with no inargument to change the linewidth for all lines in the plot.

I use: h = findobj(gcf,'Type','line') N = length(get(h,'Parent')) % N "lines"

But with use of legend it count allso the legend lines. How can I overcome this problem? Is there a better why to get a line? And how can I get all lines in a subplot?

All lines in a subplot:

h = findobj(gcf, 'Type', 'line', 'Parent', SubPlotHandle)

The legend is usually connected to the data lines. So if you change the properties of the lines, the legend will automatically changes also.

I wrote http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/31477-fixes-to-print-huge-plots-as-png to solve a similar problem for me.

But it's very similar to your approach.

I find it easiest to set default values before plotting - like in the print_fixes.figure command. This should be also possible for axes (like subplots).

This function lets you select the lines with the mouse and change the color, linewidth, marker, markersize, etc. Look at the preview image to see the menu that pops up when right-clicking on a line:

This file is a bit to fancy for me. It works great but I need to change a lot of figures (~30). Therefore I need a automatic file that do the changes!
