boxplot XTick label size

Hi Matlab Users I have a problem with the boxplot function. I am doing the following:

axes('FontSize', 18,'FontName','arial');

boxplot(R,'labels',{'cocos','sandias','melones'})

la problem here is that XTickmark size does not chage to 18 points size while the YTickmark it does.

Do you have any idea of how I can fix this?

Thanks

set(findobj(gca,'Type','text'),'FontSize',18)

boxplot() uses the default axes labeling for the Y axes, but for the X axes, it uses text() to put the labels in place and it does not grab the axes FontSize when it does so.

Note: it is likely that with an 18 point font that the labels will overlap the y=0 axes.

Thank a lot....

To correct the text overlap, the following works quite well:

txt = findobj(gca,'Type','text');
set(txt(3:end),'VerticalAlignment', 'Middle');

The start index (3) must be updated depending on the number of axis labels etc. are on the figure.

thank you,Nick. Very helpful.

how to deal with the overlapping between the xticklabel and xlabel when the fontsize is 25?
