Boxplot - Size of the Labels

Hi,

I am trying to use boxplot function by adjusting the size of the labels. Here is an example from Matlab:

load carsmall
boxplot(MPG,Origin)

Now, I want to increase the size of the labels. I found out that this can be done via the commands;

labelSize = 24; %size of the label
set(findobj(gca,'Type','text'),'FontSize',labelSize);

However, this results in the x-axis striking through the labels. Is there a way to increase the size of the labels in boxplot without making the x-axis strikethrough the labels?

Thanks in advance.
