Pole Figure: How to change the labels and font size?

[MTEXNewbie]

Hi,

How can I change the text labels of the Pole Figure and change the Font size as well?

figure

h = [Miller(1,0,0,odf.CS),Miller(1,1,0,odf.CS),Miller(1,1,1,odf.CS)];

plotPDF(odf,h,'antipodal','silent')

CLim(gcm,'equal'); % set equal color range to all plots

I was hoping someone would be able to point me out how to change the labels and font size. I need to replace X & Y with RD & TD.

Hi!

You can change the default values in the mtex_settings file:

run

edit mtex_settings

change (for me it's in line 38):

pfAnnotations = @(varargin) text([vector3d.X,vector3d.Y],{'X','Y'},...
 'BackgroundColor','w','tag','axesLabels',varargin{:});

to:

pfAnnotations = @(varargin) text([vector3d.X,vector3d.Y],{'RD','ND'},...
'BackgroundColor','w','tag','axesLabels',varargin{:});

Run the file for the changes to take effect.

cheers,

Filippe

Hi Filippe,

Thanks for the instructions, any way to change the font size of vectors and Miller indices?

[MTEXNewbie]

Just to update, the font size option is available on the same mtex_settings.m file.

I was wondering if there is any way we can change the labels in the MATLAB script file?

[Ralf Hielscher]

you can do so. Simple but the code 

pfAnnotations = @(varargin) text([vector3d.X,vector3d.Y],{'X','Y'},...
  'BackgroundColor','w','tag','axesLabels',varargin{:});

setMTEXpref('pfAnnotations',pfAnnotations);

or something similar in your Matlab script.

Ralf.

Thanks, it worked.

I have used the below code to show the prime sign, is it right?

% set pole figure annotation

pfAnnotations = @(varargin) text([vector3d.X,vector3d.Y],{'\rm TD^{\prime}','\rm ND^{\prime}'},...

  'BackgroundColor','w','tag','axesLabels',varargin{:});

setMTEXpref('pfAnnotations',pfAnnotations);

And how to move the vector3d axis labels outside of the sphere boundary?

[Ralf Hielscher]

I'm afraid there is no simple solution. Though I think it is possible.

Hi Ralf, Can this issue be addressed in the next MTEX release? I have opened an issue at Github repo.
