Hello, anyone know how to vertically stretch a letter in Matlab so that its width is the same. I want to create a visualization similar to the seqLogo function in the bioinformatics toolbox, in which the height of the letter represents some quantity. Simply increasing the font size won't work as this increases the width as well and I want to stack letters visually in columns on an axis.

I don't have the image processing toolbox.

Thanks

For those interested, one solution I found was to first save the letters as images, load them up into MATLAB with imread(), visualize them with image(), and store each letter image in its own axes, with all letter axes on the same figure. By modifying the axes position properties, the letter images then stretch accordingly.
