Reduce the line height for an annotation textbox

13 views (last 30 days)
The following code
annotation('textbox','String',{'\fontsize{10}TEST', '\fontsize{15}7,987,157', '\fontsize{10}+8,829'},'FontName','Consolas')
creates this box
One can notice that the third string is farther than the first one from the the middle one.
Moreover, by increasing the fontsize of the middle string, the last one will go even far away. Also the first string will go a little far away.
annotation('textbox','String',{'\fontsize{10}TEST', '\fontsize{25}7,987,157', '\fontsize{10}+8,829'},'FontName','Consolas')
Is there a way to reduce the line height or, similarly, to reduce the distance between the strings?

I guess these functions were never intended for sophisticated text formatting with multi-line text. That is why there are some issues if the command becomes complex.

The problem is reproduced in r2020a using Windows 7. It appears that the space between lines n and n+1 is based on the fontsize that is in line n.
Note that the default verticalAlignment of the annotation is "top" but that only affects the entire text box as a whole, not each component within the textbox.

A workaround is simply to move the fontsize command of the last string to the middle string, that is
annotation('textbox','String',{'\fontsize{10}TEST', '\fontsize{25}7,987,157\fontsize{10}', '+8,829'},'FontName','Consolas')
