How to set the title font of a tiled chart layout (R2022b)?

I have a tiled layout plot using the "tiledlayout" function in MATLAB R2022b. How can I set the font style and font size of the title of that plot?

You can set the default title font of a Tiled Layout plot configuration in MATLAB by using the ‘Title’ property of the ‘TiledChartLayout’ object.

Here is an example:

% Create a Tiled Chart Layout with a 2-by-2 grid of plots 
t = tiledlayout(2,2); 

% Set the default font size of the title 
t.Title.FontSize = 14; 

% Set the default font style of the title 
t.Title.FontName = 'Times'; 
% t.Title.FontName = 'Arial'; 
% t.Title.FontName = 'Gotham'; 
% t.Title.FontName = 'Lucida Bright'; 

% Add some plots to the layout 
nexttile 
plot(1:10) 

nexttile 
plot(1:10) 

nexttile 
plot(1:10) 

nexttile 
plot(1:10)

% Add a title to the layout 
title(t, 'My Tiled Layout') 

In this example, the ‘Title’ property of the ‘t’ object (which is a ‘TiledChartLayout’ object) is used to set the default font size and font style of the title. You can change the font size/style to whatever value/option you prefer. The ‘title’ function is used to add a title to the entire layout. 

For a full list of available fonts on your system, please use the "listfonts" function, as explained in the following MathWorks documentation page:
