How can I repeat my setting for multiple figures (in different figure )?

77 views (last 30 days)
I want to apply this changes to all of my figures:
figure('PaperUnits', 'inches','Units', 'inches',...
'PaperPosition', Possave,...
'PaperSize', sizesave,...
'Position', Poscreen,...
'PaperPositionMode', 'auto'); %'PaperType','A4');
axis auto;
set(gca,...
'Units','normalized',...
'FontUnits','points',...
'FontWeight','normal',... 'fontWeight','bold',...
'FontSize',14,...
'FontName','Times',...
'LineWidth',2,...
'box', 'off'); % default is off
set(legend,'FontSize',14,...
'linewidth', 0.3,...
'interpreter','latex',...
'TextColor',[0,0,0]);
and so on
How do I do that without the need of repeating my setting like this:
figure;
p=[plot(t,XEe,'-black'),plot(t,X,'or'),plot(t,XF,'+b'),...
plot(t,YEe,'-black'),plot(t,Y,'or'),plot(t,YF,'+b')];
set(p,'MarkerSize',10,'LineWidth',2);
figure;
p=[plot(t,XEe,'-black'),plot(t,X,'or'),...
plot(t,YEe,'-black'),plot(t,Y,'or'),];
set(p,'MarkerSize',10,'LineWidth',2);
figure;
p=[plot(t,XEe,'-black'),plot(t,XF,'+b'),...
plot(t,YEe,'-black'),plot(t,YF,'+b')];
set(p,'MarkerSize',10,'LineWidth',2);

Two simple options:
  1. Set those value as defaults in the graphics root, then they will be used for all figures/axes/...
  2. Put the key-value pairs into a cell array, and then use a comma-separated list to input the values to the command:
figOpt = {'Position',[...], 'Papersize',[...],...};
axeOpt = {...};
...
figHnd = figure(...,figOpt{:});
axeHnd = axes(figHnd,...,axeOpt{:});
etc

@work wolf: if you read the link I gave you it describes how to set the values back to the factory values.
"Please,do you know other method ?!"
Basically your choice is one of these:
  1. set the values in the root/figure/axes, in which case the values will be used by all children when they are created.
  2. set the values when the function is called/object is created.
  3. set the values of any object, after it has been created.
While there might be a few different syntaxes, these are your basic options. If the objects already exist then you will need to use their handles to set their values- This is one reaons why it is highly recommended to always obtain and use all graphics objects handles explicitly, and never relying on the current axes or figure being the one that you want to access. Many beginners rely on gca, gcf, etc, but this unpredictable and makes changing specific object properties very difficult. You need to obtain and use handles for all graphics objects that you use: figures, axes, lines, patches, images, etc. (see the example code in my answer). Then it is trivial to set their properties.
