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

[Claus Futtrup]

Hi Samuel

I agree. The font is always too small. The font = 2 seems to be the 
smallest feasible increment and it sounds like a good one (i.e. without 
overdoing it).

You mention grid. I always do xgrid(color("grey70")); ... is this 
default now, to have the grid a bit greyed?

Cheers,
Claus
