Blurry Text and Lines in Graph

I updated to the 2015a release of Matlab recently from the 2013b, and ever since I did that all of the text and lines in my graphs have gotten really fuzzy. They are no longer crisp like they used to be, and it is quite a pain to look at now. I've attached pictures of two identical graphs produced in each version to show what I am talking about. It's clear from the pictures what the problem is.

Is there any way to fix this, or am I just going to have to stick with the old version of Matlab?

It looks to me from the window design as if you are using MS Windows?

Are you using a high resolution monitor?

Those are new features that were introduced in R2014b. There are properties for controlling them:

Can you please give an example of how the relevant new graphic property must be set in order to remove the blurriness?

Wow, as always lots to learn there.

Hi,

From the screenshots, I do not see much of a change in the text and lines, and it doesn't look like it is fuzzy to me. However, the background colour, and the general appearance have changed much since MATLAB R2014b, since the new graphics system was introduced in R2014b. To know more about graphics changes in R2014b, refer to the documentation at:

Hope this helps,

Abhiram.

Hi the_visitor,

I think this is what you want..

After making the plot, try the following to see if the axis texts become clearer.

set (gca, 'FontSmoothing', 'off')
