Hi Matlab Users I have a problem with the boxplot function. I am doing the following:
axes('FontSize', 18,'FontName','arial');
boxplot(R,'labels',{'cocos','sandias','melones'})
la problem here is that XTickmark size does not chage to 18 points size while the YTickmark it does.
Do you have any idea of how I can fix this?
Thanks
carlos

set(findobj(gca,'Type','text'),'FontSize',18)
boxplot() uses the default axes labeling for the Y axes, but for the X axes, it uses text() to put the labels in place and it does not grab the axes FontSize when it does so.
Note: it is likely that with an 18 point font that the labels will overlap the y=0 axes.
