How to change size of axis labels in MappingToolbox, as well as ColorBar axis size?

I have been struggling to change the size of the Latitude and Longitude values on the axis of my mapping plots in the Mapping Toolbox.

I would want to increase the size of those numbers as well as the size of the axis values on the ColorBar. I tried to use axesm(), but I keep getting an error about a Projection Map.

latlim = [25 50]; lonlim = [-105 -67];
axe = usamap(latlim, lonlim);
set(axe, 'Visible', 'off');
sheds = shaperead('usastatehi','UseGeoCoords', true, 'BoundingBox', [lonlim', latlim']);
geoshow(axe, sheds, 'FaceColor', [1 1 1])
%axesm('FontSize', 15) % This doesn't work. 
 
scatterm(lat, long, 15, ftratio, 'filled')
 
 
caxis([0 3]);
colormap jet
colorbar

Use setm() to set properties of map axes.

setm(axe, 'FontSize', 15)

Amazing! Thank you.

Glad I could help!

Matlab is so great that setting the fontsize using the mapping toolbox, draws the text outside the figure. Not cool. Tips on how to solve this?

Reduce the height of the axes. To do that you need the axis handle and then change the 4th position element. For example,

ax = gca(); 
ax.Position(4) = ax.Position(4)*.90;  %Reduce height to 90%
