In previous versions of MATLAB, the command
set(0,'defaulttextInterpreter','latex') %latex axis labels
set the interpreter for the text command, the xlabel command, and so on, to Latex. This does not work in 2015a. Is there an alternative way to set the default interpreter to Latex for all graphics objects. Thank you.

MATLAB changed some object properties name. For this issue, the following will work
set(groot, 'defaultAxesTickLabelInterpreter','latex'); set(groot, 'defaultLegendInterpreter','latex');
I think Legend didn't change. You can still replace the 'groot' with '0' as usual. To be able to set other default object properties, check out
get(groot, 'factory'); % this shows all the factory values for all object properties. get(groot, 'default'); % fetches only default values you have altered.
So you can use the "get(groot, 'factory');" to see all possible object property and change their default values by removing the "factory" prefix and replace with "default". Of course you use the set() function to change and get() function to fetch. Let me if this helped.

Yes, I could fix the problem! Thank you very much!
But, do we need to use set(groot, 'factory'), to set it back when we don't need this?

clear all
% This script changes all interpreters from tex to latex.
list_factory = fieldnames(get(groot,'factory'));
index_interpreter = find(contains(list_factory,'Interpreter'));
for i = 1:length(index_interpreter)
default_name = strrep(list_factory{index_interpreter(i)},'factory','default');
set(groot, default_name,'latex');
end

I think the command should work even on R2015a. Looks like you have missed making 'text' as CamelCase. So ideally the command should be : set(0,'defaultTextInterpreter','latex');

It seems to be working for me. What error you receive when you try to execute that command?

It does not work for me either and I need to define an overlined variable (in R2007b).
Thanks for help
