How can i keep the fontsize on colorbar when saving as JPEG, TIFF etc....

I am producing graphs in Matlab to be converting as JPEG/TIFF for inclusion into documents. I use a font 30 on graphs. Everything saves as such except for the colorbar which return to a very small font 8/10. Does anyone knows the solution to this problem? Many thanks

Answer 1

[José-Luis]

sH = surf(peaks);
cH = colorbar;
set(cH,'FontSize',30);

Tried this but again as soon as i tried to save in a format different from .fig, the font on the colorbar returns to something very small....

[José-Luis]

fH = figure(1);
sH = surf(peaks);
cH = colorbar;
set(cH,'FontSize',30);
saveas(1,'test.jpeg');

This works in my computer. Does it work on yours?

[Sophie pitois]

Yes this works !!!! Thank you so much

[José-Luis]

My pleasure. Please accept an answer if it helped you.

Thank you for the solution Jose!

This also changes the size of the tick labels on the colorbar, but I only want the size of the colorbar label to stay big.

Same as José-Luis's answer except change:

set(cH,'FontSize',30)

To this:

set(cH.Label,'FontSize',30)

It already exists in my code

Since I already set the font size in my code, what I did was saving the figure programatically with:

saveas(gcf, 'filename.extension')
