Hi Samuel

I agree. The font is always too small. The font = 2 seems to be the smallest feasible increment and it sounds like a good one (i.e. without overdoing it).

You mention grid. I always do xgrid(color("grey70")); ... is this default now, to have the grid a bit greyed?

Cheers,
Claus

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.
