Octave -- an alternative for Matlab/Scilab
Trying to use Octave to substitute Matlab/Scilab. Here are some tips 1. Octave, linux version, control fonts in two categories. One is controlled by the fontsize keyword such as the xlabel , ylabel , legend and title . The other can be manipulated using postscript. 1. Part One (controlled by using fontsize/fontname keywords) Change text size: text(10, 2, '{\fontsize {18} Whatever }') legend('{\fontsize {24} legend item 1}') xlabel('label for x-axis') or xlabel('{\fontsize {24} label for x-axis}') Change text style xlabel( '{ \bf label name for x}'), where \bf stands for bold fonts \it stands for italic font \sl stands for oblique font \rm stands for normal font 2. Part Two: e.g., the fontsize for x tics, use -F optoin for postscript output in print print -depsc2 -Ffontname:fontsize output.ps print -dpesc2 -FTimes-Roman:36 output.ps print ("output.ps","-depsc2","-FTimes-Roman:36")
