Hi,

Does anyone know how to change fontsize for xlabel, ylabel and axis tick-labels in Plots.jl ? I am using the pgfplots backend.

I dont see any examples on the Plots.jl demonstrating that.

Documentation I looked up: https://juliaplots.github.io/

thanks,

Nitin

I did try using the "guidefont" and "tickfont" commands but they seem to make no difference when implemented as below:

scatter(Sol_U,:tof,:vinf,xlabel="Time (years)", ylabel="Arrival V(km/s)", marker = (:c, 2,stroke(0)),xlims = (6,12),tickfont=font(28),guidefont=font(28))

where Sol_U is a dataframe.

I am using plots 0.9.4+ (master) and my Julia version is 0.5.1-pre+2

thanks again !

One more thing I found is that it works if I use pyplot as the backend so maybe its a pgfplots issue ?

I opened an issue at Plots.jl github as this command is working with pyplots but not pgfplots backend.

Wonderful to see the learning process in action haha. For future reference, to see which commands are available in which packages, you can check the supported attributes page of the documentation.
