[Scilab-users] Default x|y|z labels and title font size = 2?

[CRETE Denis]

Hello ,
Very good idea !
I actually defined a function to perform xtitle and immediately increase font sizes for the axes labels, axis titles and title of the figure. I originally set them to a size of 2 for the labels and 3 for the titles.
Still, the reviewers for publications seldom complain about too large font sizes, much more about too small font sizes! For these applications, the risk of having to change the font sizes upon revision of a paper is smaller with default font sizes of 3 for the labels and 4 (or even 5 when LaTeX style is used) for the titles …
Best regards
Denis

Dear all,

After having changed the default grid style in Scilab 6.1.0, i propose to go on, tuning more carefully the default font size of axes labels.

Each time that i define a xlabel, ylabel or sometimes zlabel, and a title, i have also to set explicitly their fontsize property, because i find the default size=1 always too small.
Is it also your usage?
Indeed, the font size = 1 is fine for ticks labels. From here, axes labels must be displayed with a bigger font size.
Sometime size=2 is still not enough, noticeably with a LaTeX content. But well, then we can actually use an explicit fontsize setting.

This proposal impacts everybody and frequently, because making plots is a basic task in Scilab
Every comment is welcome, before implementing this simple change.

Hope reading you soon.
