:font-name string, name of the font family. : :font-filename string, filename of a true type font. : :font-id integer >= 0 . : :fonts a column vector of font names. : :bold a boolean %t if bold : :italic a boolean %t if italic :
Without any argument, xlfont() returns the list of currently loaded fonts.
xlfont(‘AVAILABLE_FONTS’) returns list of fonts available on your system.
xlfont(‘reset’) reset to initial index list of fonts.
With arguments, xlfont is used to load a new font at different sizes in the graphics context.
Default family fonts are “Monospaced” (0), “Symbol” (1), “Serif” (2), “Serif Italic” (3), “Serif Bold” (4), “Serif Bold Italic” (5), “SansSerif” (6), “SansSerif Italic” (7), “SansSerif Bold” (8), “SansSerif Bold Italic” (9). These default fonts are automatically loaded when needed and so xlfont is not really required for them. In fact xlfont is essentially useful to load a new font.
xlfont('reset');
xlfont()
// Caution : this example may not work if your system have not Monospaced font.
xlfont("Monospaced",10,%t,%t);
`xstring`_(1,0,'A title');
figure_entity = `gcf`_();
axes_entity = figure_entity.children;
title_entity = axes_entity.children;
title_entity.font_style = 10;
xlfont('reset');
