How can I set linewidth directly in bode command?

I can draw a bode plot as below

sys = tf(4,[1 0.5 4]);
figure(1), bode(sys), grid on;

Now, I would like to change some options in the Bode plot.

I can set the options through 'bodeoptions' as below.

sys = tf(4,[1 0.5 4]);
options = bodeoptions;
options.FreqUnits = 'Hz';
options.Title.FontSize = 14;
options.XLabel.FontSize = 14;
options.YLabel.FontSize = 14;
options.TickLabel.FontSize = 14;
figure(2), bode(sys, options), grid on;

But I can't find the option to set the linewidth of the bode plot.

How can I do that?

You can try semilogx. See the following code:

sys=tf(4,[1 0.5 4]);
[mag,phase,wout] = bode(sys);
Mag=20*log10(mag(:));Phase=phase(:);
figure(1);semilogx(wout,Mag,'LineWidth',5);grid on;
figure(2);semilogx(wout,Phase,'LineWidth',1);grid on;

Thank you for your answer.

I thought of this way but I wanted to know if I can do the same thing with bode options.

Really appreciate it though.

Hello Byungkeuk,

Here is an example script to demonstrate how you can adjust the linewidth of a bode plot.

sys = tf([4, 1], [0.5, 4]);  % Define the system transfer function
figure(1);
[mag,phase,wout] = bode(sys);  % Store Bode plot data
h = bodeplot(sys);             % Plot Bode diagram
grid on;

% Get the line handles
hline = findall(gcf, 'type', 'line');

% Set the linewidth
set(hline, 'LineWidth', 2); % Change 2 to your desired linewidth

Hope this helps,

Sid

This works great, but how can I set the linewidth in the legend to be the same as in the bodeplot?

Note: Sid's answer is only applicable for releases prior to R2024b. Follow my answer starting in release R2024b.

[Julius Bergmann]

I used R2021b to create the chart I posted.

So it doesn't increase the linewidth inside the legend using his code and adding:

legend("TF")

But I will maybe upgrade to R2024b to use the charts API

[Andrew Ouellette]

For releases prior to R2024b, see Sid's answer. Starting in R2024b, you can set the line width using the chart API.

sys = tf(4,[1 0.5 4]);
h = bodeplot(sys);
h.Responses(1).LineWidth = 5;
h.LegendVisible = true;

fig = gcf;
obj = findobj(fig,'Type','hggroup');
for idx = 1:numel(obj)
    for jdx = 1:numel(obj(idx).Children)
        obj(idx).Children(jdx).LineWidth = 2;
    end
end
