How to give different font size to label values and label names?

Using

set(gca,'FontName', 'TimesNewRoman', 'FontSize',16,'FontWeight', 'Bold');

We can change the font size of label values and label names. But this is giving equal font size to both of them.

I want to use different font size to label values and label names. How to do it.

I am asking this because generally in paper publishing, different font size is used for them. I want to export the image from the drawn figure and paste it directly on the paper.

Do you mean different font sizes for text and numbers on axes ?

Simply specify the font directly:

plot(rand(5))
set(gca,'FontName', 'TimesNewRoman', 'FontSize',16,'FontWeight', 'Bold');
xlabel('This is x', 'FontSize', 12, 'FontName', 'monospaced', 'FontWeight', 'normal')

Alternatively set the parameters as default of the figure:

figure('DefaultAxesFontSize', 16, 'DefaultAxesLabelFontSize', 1.5);
plot(rand(5))
xlabel('The X label')

I'm not sure, why the AxesLabelFontSize is multiplied here. I did not expect this. Maybe this is a bug in the online viewer. Try it locally.

The full name of the setting is 'defaultAxesLabelFontSizeMultiplier' and therefore it is obviously the factor between the font size of the axes and its labels.
