R2023b and Sonoma bugs

Hi

I just switched to Sonoma OSX (updated) and R2023b (updated).

Apparently there are some things not right.

For example, prior to this update, this used to work fine to set all my figures to some papersize:

>> set(groot,'DefaultFigurePaperSize',[30 30])

>> figure

>> get(gcf,'papersize')

ans =

8.2677 11.6929

Other properties, such as set(groot,'DefaultFigureColormap',summer), work fine

Any help?

thanks

Hi,

One of the reasons might be that you have set the "papertype" of the current figure to 'a4'. As a workaround, try setting the "papersize" with gcf.

set(gcf,'papertype','a4')
get(gcf,'papersize')
set(groot,'DefaultFigurePaperSize',[30 30])
figure
get(gcf,'papersize')
set(gcf,'papersize',[30 30])
get(gcf,'papersize')

Hope this helps!

Another way to do this is that you can set the DefaultFigurePaperType to '<custom>' and then it will pick up the DefaultFigurePaperSize. For example:

set(groot,'DefaultFigurePaperSize',[30 30]);
set(groot,'DefaultFigurePaperType','<custom>');
f = figure;
get(gcf,'papersize') % returns [30 30]

This will avoid the need to always set the 'papersize' property on gcf, as coded above.
