Algorithm (Workflow)

This function, SGfigurepapermode, is designed to adjust the appearance of figures in MATLAB for publication purposes. It removes the picture title and increases the font size to make figures more suitable for printed materials.

Input Parameters

Algorithm Steps

  1. Retrieve the font size parameter using getfuncparams(1,varargin,16). This function call extracts the first parameter from varargin or defaults to 16 if not provided.
  2. Retrieve the dynamic size flag using getfuncparams(2,varargin,true). This function call extracts the second parameter from varargin or defaults to true if not provided.
  3. Get the current figure's position using get(gcf,'Position'), which returns a vector [s e c r] representing the figure's position and size.
  4. If the dynamic size flag ds is true, adjust the font size FS based on the figure's height sc(4) relative to a base height of 640 pixels.
  5. Set the font size of the current axes using set(gca,'FontSize',FS).
  6. Retrieve the title handle of the current axes using get(gca,'Title') and set its font size to FS.
  7. Find all text objects in the current figure using findobj(gcf,'Type','text') and set their font size to FS.
  8. Find all text box objects in the root object using findobj(findall(groot),'Type','Textbox') and set their font size to FS.
  9. Find all text objects in the root object using findobj(findall(groot),'Type','Text') and set their font size to FS.
  10. Find all axes objects in the root object using findobj(findall(groot),'Type','Axes') and set their font size to FS.
  11. Set the figure's background color to white using set(gcf,'Color','w').
  12. Remove the menu bar and tool bar from the figure using set(gcf,'MenuBar',"none") and set(gcf,'ToolBar',"none").
  13. Bring the figure window to the front using shg.
