How to make the axis labels of a plot BOLD

I am trying to plot some figures. Generally the axis labels of the figure are in standard size font. Now I know that I can make them bold by going through Edit > Axes Properties. But I would like it to be done within the matlab code.

I am aware of this peice of code, but i am not sure how to implement it into my plotting code.

FontWeight — Character thickness
'normal' (default) | 'bold'

MY general plot code is

figure('Name','Test Figure','NumberTitle', 'off')
hold on;
plot(a, x,'--k','linewidth',2);
plot(b, y , 'b','linewidth',2);
ylabel('percentage')
xlabel('distance')
title('Corelation')
legend('dist','Percentage')

The axis lables and titles are text objects.

Try something like this —

x = 1:10;
y = randn(size(x));

figure
plot(x, y)
grid
xlabel('X Label')
ylabel('Y Label', 'FontWeight','bold')
