Hello ,
Very good idea !
I actually defined a function to perform xtitle and immediately increase font 
sizes for the axes labels, axis titles and title of the figure. I originally 
set them to a size of 2 for the labels and 3 for the titles.
Still, the reviewers for publications seldom complain about too large font 
sizes, much more about too small font sizes! For these applications, the risk 
of having to change the font sizes upon revision of a paper is smaller with 
default font sizes of 3 for the labels and 4 (or even 5 when LaTeX style is 
used) for the titles …
Best regards
Denis

Objet : [Scilab-users] Default x|y|z labels and title font size = 2?


Dear all,

After having changed the default grid style in Scilab 6.1.0, i propose to go 
on, tuning more carefully the default font size of axes labels.

Each time that i define a xlabel, ylabel or sometimes zlabel, and a title, i 
have also to set explicitly their fontsize property, because i find the default 
size=1 always too small.
Is it also your usage?
Indeed, the font size = 1 is fine for ticks labels. From here, axes labels must 
be displayed with a bigger font size.
Sometime size=2 is still not enough, noticeably with a LaTeX content. But well, 
then we can actually use an explicit fontsize setting.

This proposal impacts everybody and frequently, because making plots is a basic 
task in Scilab
Every comment is welcome, before implementing this simple change.

Hope reading you soon.
