Set default font settings for Simulink annotation (comments)

Hello,

For improving visibility of model, I would like to change the defaul font for all anotations: I would like to use Courrier New Black 14 pt. How can I do this programmatically?

Changing the Font properties of the axes works for objects related to the axes (title, labels, etc).

However, for text objects and textbox via annotation, you will have to specify the properties manually.

%Sample plot
fplot(@sin)
xlabel('Input - time')
ylabel('Output - Signal')
title('Sinosuidal Curve')

%Get current axis
ax = gca;
name = 'Courier New';
sz = 14;

ax.FontName = name;
ax.FontSize = sz;

%Manually specifying font for text object
t = text(ax, 0,0,'\rightarrow sin(0)', 'FontName', name, 'FontSize', sz);

Hi Joshi!

Thanks, but I meen the annotation for model and not for charts: https://www.mathworks.com/help/simulink/ug/annotate-models.html

Do you know how can I handler all the annotations of model?

Ah, okay. I should have noticed the product mentioned as "Simulink".

I will get back to you on this soon.

I don't think there is a way to pre-set the default font. But you can do a quick and easy post-processing like this. It will change all the annotations at once.

ano=find_system(ModelName,'FindAll','On','Type','Annotation')

set(ano,'FontName','Arial')

See doc page
