I want to increase size of tick labels on axes to publish graph in article. Standard 9pt font size is too small.

In 2D image report I changed font size to 25 but it only enlarge title of the graph.

I tried to increase font size also in Options-Preferences-Graphics to 25 but it seems that it change default font size when I create another image in report.

Is there possibility to change font size of axes, legened, etc.?

Hello,

I know this question was posted long ago, but just in case someone need to change the font size of a plot.

I have found a way to change the font size of plots (which is often too small by default for most of presentation pourposes), here it is :

1) Go to Postprocessing/Plot parameters

2) In the "general" tab, pick "plot in" "New figure" or " "Figure X", it will open a figure window for your plot.

3) In this new window there is an "Edit plot" button where you can change the font.

Hi

rather change the PLOT Image Snapshot resolution from 96 DPI to 192 DPI or even higher (this works in v4)

Good luck

Yes, changing resolution dpi does indeed change the font size, but I want to control both. I changed the plot Image Snapshot Resolution from 96 dpi to 300, which then makes the plot dimensions too small. I changed the width and height (preserving the aspect ratio), and got a plot that looks good, but the font size of the axis labels etc. is too big. On the right of the Image Snapshot screen, under Layout, is "Font size", but changing this has no effect on my exported plot.
Any ideas why this doesn't seem to work?

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Joe

Thank you Ivar for hint
I guess I need special course in post-processing from Comsol to make figures look normal or most likely this issue will be fixed in Comsol v5 :)

Exporting the data to excel, then calculations and different plots from different studies can be set up in one graph.
