Boxplot X-axis change label size

Dear all,

I've been googling and trying all sorts of things to get my label a proper size from a boxplot. The 'names' on the x-axis are obtained from the excel that is loaded ( boxplot(num(:,1),txt(:,1)) ). However i can't get the text to increase in size.. not even with figure editor..

Can anybody please help me

Added is the figure i am talking about

You have tried the following?

set(gca,'fontsize',15)

Yes, i already tried all that sort of things unfortunately... I think it is because, as mentioned, the text is obtained from the excel. But i think there must be a way to increase the size of this.

That's weird. The source of the data should not matter. I could give it a try if you upload the data (or part of it) and code.

[Twevers]

sure:

Code (not that special):

[num,txt,raw] = xlsread('boxplot.xlsx', 'Sheet1');

boxplot(num(:,1),txt(:,1))

The following code gives me the figure below.

[num,txt,raw] = xlsread('boxplot.xls', 'Sheet1');
boxplot(num(:,1),txt(:,1))
set(gca,'fontsize',15)
xtickangle(45)

Are you creating another set of axis when you are plotting the mean values?

Hello Jonas,

Yes, i am also plotting the title, y-axis and legend in total:

title(sprintf('\\begin{tabular}{c} %s %s %s \\end{tabular}','$$\Delta$$ ','\\','under title'),...
    'interpreter','latex','fontsize',16)
ylabel('$$\Delta$$ = $$\frac{top}{bottom}$$','Interpreter','latex','fontsize',16);xtickangle(45)
legend({'= mean'},'fontsize',10);legend boxoff;

Don't mind the text i put in for the title, i changed it for specific reasons.. ;-)

Hello!

I'm not sure that I fully understand the problem. The size of the ticklabels can be changed by adjusting the 'fontsize' of the current axis. What exactly is the issue?

[Twevers]

Dear Jonas,

My stupidity has surprised me.... i misplaced the " set(gca,'fontsize',15)" command.....

I tested it and it works now. Thanks!

[jonas]

We've all been there, happy that it worked out :)
