Boxplot Fontsize changes size of box?

Hi All,

i have a question on boxplots and the Fontsize.

When i increase the fontsize with for example: set(gca,'FontWeight','bold','FontSize',13,'LineWidth',2);

The box of the boxplots gets smaller. Is there a way to set the font of the text without affecting the boxsize?

Thank you very much in advance!

Experiment with

 set(gca, 'ActivePositionProperty', 'position', FontWeight','bold','FontSize',13,'LineWidth',2)

Normally the active mode is the OuterPosition, with the inner Position recomputed so as to be able to fit the labels within the OuterPosition boundaries, so when you increase the font size the axes box size (the Position property) can change. Possibly making the Position the active property it would instead resize the outer box or clip the text instead of resizing the inner box.
