Algorithm (Workflow)
This function, `fontsize`, is designed to adjust the font size of all text elements in a MATLAB figure. It is part of the SolidGeometry library and was introduced in version 5.1.
Input Parameters
- FS: The default font size, set to 16pt for printouts. It can be adjusted based on the figure size if the dynamic size option is enabled.
- ds: A boolean parameter that, when true, adjusts the font size dynamically based on the figure's height.
Output Results
- h: A handle to all text elements whose font size has been adjusted.
Algorithm Steps
- Retrieve the font size (`FS`) from the input parameters, defaulting to 16 if not provided.
- Retrieve the dynamic size flag (`ds`) from the input parameters, defaulting to true if not provided.
- Get the current figure's position using `get(gcf,'Position')`.
- If `ds` is true, adjust `FS` by scaling it with the figure's height (`sc(4)`) relative to a base height of 640.
- Initialize an empty array `h` to store handles to text elements.
- If the number of output arguments is less than 2, proceed to adjust font sizes:
- Find all textboxes (`Textbox` type) and set their font size to `FS`.
- Find all text elements (`Text` type) and set their font size to `FS`.
- Find all axes (`Axes` type), set their font size to `FS`, and set their font angle to italic.
- Store the handles of these elements in `h`.
