UPDATE: Quick Fonts for multiple bar graph object (EV7)

[nadja123]

Hello there,

referring to my previous post, I was maybe too quick with saying that the suggested command worked fine.

Code: Select all

graph1.textdefault font("Arial", 14) existing

I'd swear that when I first tested it (writing in the command window), it really worked.
However, I now noticed, that I does not work if I run this within a program, nor it work with graph objects that were frozen and saved with the workfile in a previous session.
So, what does the functionality of this actually depend on? Do I need more commands before / after this? Etc... Sorry I am confused. Help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

I have tested the command in both cases you mentioned, and it appears to work correctly.

Do you have the most current EViews update?

Hello there,

sorry for the delay with my answer. I think our version is Standard Edition - Jan 7 2010 build...
Thank you.

That is massively out of date. You should update to the latest version. http://eviews.com/download/download.html

Hello there,

so I upgraded / updated to 7.2 Standard Edition Oct 14 2011 build.
I re-run my program. The proposed command

Code: Select all

graph1.textdefault font("Arial", 14) existing

reset the "RULE_T1", "RULE_T2" chart titles and "Frequency" at the left vertical axes.
The axis fonts I needed to reset by additional commands

Code: Select all

graph1.axis(id) font("Arial", 14)

Back to the manual option Quick Fonts, I tried to apply it on a previously created (frozen) graph object. It will set all fonts as wished, except for the size of the two chart titles font which is a number higher (e.g. pt 16, then title is pt 18).
So, neither of the two options (the command or the manual reset) is the same as what I had in mind as a ML user ("set this font everywhere").
But, okay for me the way it is. I appreciate very much your input and my apologies for the confusion with the testing.
