Fontsize in clabel with rotated labels 2014b

Hello,

I switched to 2014b improving the look of several diagrams, but also gave me a hard time to adjust a few properties. Up to now I am stuck with the following problem: clabel(C,h) no longer returns a handle, so that I am not able to change the FontSize. The other option is to use clabel(C) but in this case the label is no longer within the lines (it's a bit shifted) and there is a cross which does not improve the readability of the plot.

The question is if there is a way to use clabel(C,h) and also change the FontSize of the labels. I also checked the properties explorer giving me no clue.

Thanks in advance, Stephan

I have the same problem, and as far as I can tell this is as you described so text properties cannot be changed in rotated labels, which is nuts.

As soon as I change the fontsize, have the same problem regardless of whether I rotate the labels or not - there is always a weird little cross and no break in the contour line. I found I can delete the little crosses by hand by editing the figure but that is not a realistic option.

Did you guys found a way around this? I am currently installing a trial version of 2015a in the hope that this problem has been fixed.

If you download and install one of the workarounds available here for R2014b or R2015a: http://www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/1114747, you'll be able to use commands like the following to control the FontSize of your labels:

clabel(C,h,'FontSize',32)

If you try a value and it turns out be either too large or too small, you can adjust it with an additional call to the clabel function, like this:

clabel(C,h,'FontSize',20)

or simply return to the default value:

clabel(C,h,'FontSize','default')

The workaround enables a total of 12 properties that affect the appearance of contour labels: Color, FontName, FontSize, FontWeight, and 8 others.
