Hi,

I am trying to change the default font for figures and can't find the command. I tried:

get(0,'default')

but there does not seem to be a 'defaultfontname'. I also tried creating the figure and using:

h=findobj(gca,'type','text');
set(h,'fontname','arial')

In that case, the x- and y- labels were not changed. There has to be a way to change the default font so I don't have to type it out for every object in the fig.

This is a bit interesting (maybe?)...As a hack (while I was waiting to hear from you all), I tried this to change the font of all objects in a figure:

%first created a figure and added labels, text anotations, etc
h=findobj(gcf);
ind2=cellfun(@(x)(any(strmatch('FontName',....
fieldnames(get(x))))),num2cell(h));
set(h(ind2),'fontname','arial')

The call to findobj does not seem to find the x- and y- labels. Maybe this is an intended behavior, but seems like a bug to me.

There is no 'fontname' property for figures. I think you are looking for the axes properties. For example:

set(0,'defaultaxesfontname','Times New Roman')

us pointed you to the documentation on how to change the default property
value -- the general formula is:

set(<handle to some object>, 'Default<name of the object><property name>',
<new default value>)

This will make the default value for the property <property name> of all
<name of the object> objects that have <handle to some object> as an
ancestor be <new default value>. For example:

set(gcf, 'DefaultAxesColor', [1 0 0])

will make all Axes objects that have the current "current figure" as their
ancestor use [1 0 0] as the default value for their Color property. Note
that this will NOT change the _current_ value of the Color property of any
axes that _already exist_ in the figure; but if you were to take such an
existing axes and SET its Color property to 'default', it would use the new
default value of [1 0 0].

Not A Bug.

h = xlabel('hi');
get(h, 'HandleVisibility')

FINDOBJ does not find objects whose HandleVisibility property is set to
'off'. For that, you want FINDALL.
