Write bold text in a textbox - guide

How to write a bold text in a textbox in guide, from the code? Is this possible?

Answer 1

Correction:

See Uicontrol Properties

    FontWeight
     light | {normal} | demi | bold

    Weight of text characters. MATLAB uses this property to select a 
    font from those available on your particular system. Setting this 
    property to bold causes MATLAB to use a bold version of the font, 
    when it is available on your system.

Example

    figure;
    uicontrol( 'style', 'text', 'string', 'abcd1234', 'fontweight', 'bold' )

.

For me the easiest solution I found is also described in the TextBox Properties documentation page from Matlab. I just added

'FontWeight','bold'

to my annotation box. Although this is not specifically mentioned in the annotation documentation it works fine. So I ended up with the following line:

dim = [.825 .2 .8 .65];
annotation('textbox',dim,'String','boldString','FitBoxToText','on','FontSize',14,'FontWeight','bold','linestyle','none');

There are a lot of things you can change. They're not all explicitly spelled out in the annotation documentation but it is mentioned like this:

Each type of annotation object supports a different set of properties. For a full list of properties and descriptions for each type, see the associated property page.

• Line Properties
• Arrow Properties
• DoubleEndArrow Properties
• TextArrow Properties
• TextBox Properties
• Rectangle Properties
• Ellipse Properties

So it's not mentioned explicitly -- it's there, but there's an additional click you have to do.
