Font Size #59

Open otobrzo opened 4 years ago

It is possible to set the fontsize?

heliosdrm commented 4 years ago

Not yet. That feature could be added, but first it should be decided how much customizable that should be. E.g., the easiest would be using a general font scaling factor, which reduces the font size of all elements if it is < 1, or expands it if > 1.

However, maybe you were thinking on something else: e.g. different scaling factors for axes labels, ticks, titles, legends... That's still possible, but will take more work to ensure that it does not break things or worsens performance.

When preparing figures for publication I typically need to set font size in pt and figure size independently.

Second thing is strange behavior of x/ylabel positions as illustrated in attached figure.

Thanks for reporting the issue.

If you need fine-graded customization of plot elements for publication, maybe using the Plots package - with GR backend, if you like other aspects of its plots - might be a better option.

I know the Plots package but I like the speed of GR and your matlab like syntax. Moreover, this interactivity in jupyter is what I want:-) interactive GR
