Question: How can I modify figure's property inspector elements through code?

ve a set of timeseries the I received from a SIMULINK model, then I use the subplit funcitonality to show the results using the following code %Powers Plot below   then I would have to open property inspector in order to modify the FontName, some of the xaxis and yaxis limits as in here: Q1 : Can I find a way to automatically adjust the FontName, Axes limits by adjusting the code below??? If not, is there a way to set the defaults parameter for the figure inspector properties, so when the figure is printed it would use these values. I've seen some documnetation, answers where I can set the limits, but for a one-plot figure, in my case I am using subplot, I want to be able to adjust limits for each subplot. Also, note I am using timeseries plot, which is not straight forward as just plot(x,y)     Code:   % Powers Plot subplot(4,1,1 ) Power_Load.Name = 'Demand Power'; loadpowerplot= plot(Power_Load); ylabel(' Demand Power (W)') xlabel(' Time (h) ') xaxisHours; subplot(4,1,2 ) Power_PV.Name = 'Solar Power '; plot(Power_PV) ylabel(' Solar Power (W) ') xlabel(' Time (h) ') xaxisHours; subplot(4,1,3 ) Power_battery.Name = ' Battery Power (W) '; plot(Power_battery) ylabel(' Battery Power (W) ') xlabel(' Time (h) ') xaxisHours; subplot(4,1,4 ) Power_SC.Name = ' Supercapacitor Power '; plot(Power_SC) ylabel(' Supercapacitor Power (W)) ') xlabel(' Time (h) ') xaxisHours; PS: the xaxisHours is a code I made that will make the x axis values from seconds to hours and it's as follows:   xaxisHours.m grid on xticks(0:60*60:24*60*60) xticklabels({'0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','10','11','12','13','14','15','16','17','18','19','20','21','22','23' })

you can set the Font by specifying it in the label commands, e.g.
 
 
ylabel('y-axis','FontName','This is the name of your font')

you can specify the ylimits by calling in every subplot after plotting by calling

ylim([lower upper])

To change all font names after all plotting was done you can also search for all objects with a fontName property in the current figure by

objs=findall(gcf,'-property','FontName')

and then setting it to the font name you want

set(objs,'FontName','YourFontName')
