Changing font size of colorbar TickLabels in Matlab automatically

Question

How can I change font size of colorbar TickLabels in Matlab automatically? I know I can change the font using

c = colorbar;
c.Label.String = 'string';
c.Label.FontSize=16;

But couldn't find how to change the fontsize of ticks.

Answer 1

You may be referring to the thickness of the ticks, which you can change with the property

c.LineWidth

or you can change the font size of the ticks with

c.FontSize

There are a lot of other properties you can play with, in 2018b specifically, these are the modifiable properties and their default values:

        AxisLocation: 'out'
    AxisLocationMode: 'auto'
        BeingDeleted: 'off'
                 Box: 'on'
          BusyAction: 'queue'
       ButtonDownFcn: ''
            Children: [0×0 GraphicsPlaceholder]
               Color: [0.1500 0.1500 0.1500]
           CreateFcn: ''
           DeleteFcn: ''
           Direction: 'normal'
           FontAngle: 'normal'
            FontName: 'Helvetica'
            FontSize: 9
          FontWeight: 'normal'
    HandleVisibility: 'on'
             HitTest: 'on'
       Interruptible: 'off'
               Label: [1×1 Text]
              Limits: [0 1]
          LimitsMode: 'auto'
           LineWidth: 0.5000
            Location: 'eastoutside'
              Parent: [1×1 Figure]
       PickableParts: 'visible'
            Position: [0.8307 0.1095 0.0381 0.8167]
            Selected: 'off'
  SelectionHighlight: 'on'
                 Tag: 'Colorbar'
       TickDirection: 'in'
TickLabelInterpreter: 'tex'
          TickLabels: {11×1 cell}
      TickLabelsMode: 'auto'
          TickLength: 0.0100
               Ticks: [0 0.1000 0.2000 0.3000 0.4000 0.5000 0.6000 0.7000 0.8000 0.9000 1]
           TicksMode: 'auto'
                Type: 'colorbar'
       UIContextMenu: [1×1 ContextMenu]
               Units: 'normalized'
            UserData: []
             Visible: 'on'

If its not here, you can not change it.
