Quick Question: Change Font Color in Graphics Window or Image Snapshot?

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Is it possible to change the font color in the graphics window or for an image snapshot of the graphics window?

Many of my results plots end up with dark blue encompassing the background because dark blue represents zero on the colorbar. This makes the black text of the title and colorbar labels impossible to read. I could use a colorbar with a light color at the bottom, but I'd much rather just change all the text to white.

Or maybe there's an option to have the title and colorbar appear outside the plot on the printed image instead of within the plot?

Capturing and Copying Screenshots:
o The best way: to quickly capture a screenshot image of a plot, you should press Ctrl+C on the active Graphics window (in Comsol). The screenshot image is then available on the clipboard so that you can paste it into a document (Microsoft Word or Paint).
o The silly way: You can also use the Image Snapshot button ( ) on the Graphics toolbar to capture an image snapshot of a plot.
