Does matlab use times new roman
A question that gets to the heart of font choices in MATLAB!
By default, MATLAB uses a font called "Helvetica" or "Arial" (depending on the platform) for its text rendering. However, you can change the font used by MATLAB to other fonts, including Times New Roman.
Here are a few ways to change the font in MATLAB:
-
Using the
set
function: You can use theset
function to change the font used by MATLAB. For example:set(0, 'DefaultTextFontName', 'Times New Roman');
This sets the default font for all text in MATLAB to Times New Roman.
-
Using the
figure
function: You can also change the font used by a specific figure by using thefigure
function. For example:figure; set(gcf, 'DefaultTextFontName', 'Times New Roman');
This sets the default font for the current figure to Times New Roman.
-
Using the
uicontrol
function: If you want to change the font used by a specific UI control, such as a text box or button, you can use theuicontrol
function. For example:uicontrol('Style', 'text', 'String', 'Hello, World!', 'FontName', 'Times New Roman');
This creates a text box with the string "Hello, World!" and sets the font to Times New Roman.
Note that these changes only affect the font used by MATLAB for text rendering, and do not affect the font used by other applications or systems.
