Size of numbers on plot

I am trying to have multiple subplots. Yet, when I save as PDF, the numbers on x and y axis seem to be very close to each other and I want to avoid that

[Ameer Hamza]

Can you give a simple code to create subfigure you are creating and exporting it to the pdf file?

[Wasim Ramadan]

#For example, I am using this to generate one of the subplots

subplot(12,2,1); p = plot(timez,accz,'r'); xlabel('Time (s)'); ylabel(' Acceleration (g) '); axis tight;

.

.

#and this to save it in PDF format:

pj = figure(1)

print(pj,'PDFname','-dpdf','bestfit')

It seems that you are already making very narrow plots. If it appears small on the figure window, then the print will also be small.

Indeed I am producing 24 plots for 1 page.

So it tight, but there is big white margins that I wish to use, or atleast resize the numbers and texts on each axis

You could play around with the FontSize property of each set of axes and the Rotation of each YLabel:

for i = 1:24
    ax = subplot(12,2,i);
    p = plot(rand(10,1),'r');
    xlabel(ax, 'Time (s)');
    ylabel(ax, '   Acceleration (g)   ');
    axis(ax, 'tight');
    set(ax, 'FontSize', 12);
    set(get(ax, 'YLabel'), 'Rotation', 70);
end

Perfect solution Tommy, thats what I was looking for.

thank you.

You can try to change the font size of the labels

ax = subplot(12,2,1);
plot(1:10);
ax.FontSize = 16;

Thank you for your answer Ameer.
