The column header text showed properly when I first installed workbench 6.3. (on Win 10).
I recently set something... think increased the font size, and the titles increased, however it looks like this (screen shot below).
How do I increase the height to fit the increased font size?
Apparently, I can't even get it back to previous state. Tried reducing the fonts size, it doesn't seem to work.

I'm using GTK3+ (3.22) on Ubuntu server 18 (beta2) / x11 / openbox. Language is C. I'm porting an embedded application from GTK2 which did not seem to do dynamic resizing of label widgets when the text content reached a certain limit.
On GTK3 the label (and button) widgets now seem to resize when the text content is close to the maximum size that can be displayed.
In the case of a button widget placed into a FIXED container on a window. I have tried the following...
The gtk_widget_set_size_request seems only to set a default or minimum, not a max:
gtk_widget_set_size_request( GTK_WIDGET( GuiBottomFarLeftButton ) , GuiBottomButtonWidth , GuiBottomButtonHeight );
I have tried gtk_widget_size_allocate but that doesn't seem to limit the maximum size.
GtkAllocation gtkallocTestSize = { GuiBottomButtonFarLeftX , GuiBottomButtonY , GuiBottomButtonWidth , GuiBottomButtonHeight};
gtk_widget_size_allocate( GTK_WIDGET( GuiBottomFarLeftButton ) , >kallocTestSize );
There does not appear to be a gtk_widget_... function that limits the maximum size or sizing behavior that I can find. So far I have not found a way to limit the maximum size of a specific widget. I would settle for a way to limit the maximum width as the vertical size of the controls seems to behave as it did under GTK2 in the application I'm working on. In most cases the resizing is only effecting the layout by 10 to 20 pixels but this creates a really bad user experience.
Is there a way to disable the resizing on a widget or limit it's maximum size? Or some other work around that actually functions on latest GTK3+ (3.22)?
UX is a hard balance of optimisation. In general you should not assume that the gtk2 behaviour is what you want to replicate. The body of knowledge re: UX has increased since then and changes are in general positive. You will either be clipping text, decreasing font sizes or oversizing widgets. You can't have it all.
Scrolled windows help in many cases but obviously not for buttons and labels. In this case it is best to keep text short and use tooltips for anything that needs a more lengthy explanation.
I'm trying to create MATLAB figures to put into a paper. The paper has very specific sizing instructions for figures that I'm having trouble matching in MATLAB. The figures need to be no greater than 3.5" width, >300 DPI, with 8pt font.
In my code, I use the following to try to set the parameters:
set(gcf,'PaperUnits','inches');
set(gcf,'PaperPosition',[0 0 3.5 3.5]);
xlabel('x-axis label','FontSize',8);ylabel('y-axis label','FontSize',8);
set(gca,'FontSize',8);
print('-djpeg','-r300','filename.jpg')
This should be giving me a 300 DPI, 3.5"x3.5" JPEG image with an 8pt font size. However, when I import the image into Word, it becomes 6.5" x 6.5" and the font size is larger than Word's 8pt font. Even if I resize the image, the font size is still too large, though it should maintain the same DPI. Are the FontSize and PaperPosition parameters not working as I expect they should or is Word doing something strange for importing?
The font size issue was caused due to differing fonts used in MATLAB and Word. Once I learned about set(gca,'FontName'), the font size seemed to be correct when the image was manually resized to 3.5" x 3.5".
The image size issue seemed to be related to saving it as a JPEG. Once I swapped to PNG, the image was the correct size by default. Looking into the JPEG properties, it had the correct number of pixels for a DPI of 300 at 3.5", the sole issue was that it would have to be manually resized. Thanks for the comments that led me to finding a solution.
I am using a plugin that prints useful info in some grid (see picture below). However, due to the resolution of my laptop (2880x1620) I see nothing - the row height is too small. Is there a way how to increase this row height? I do not want to decrease font size as that would be almost unreadable.
So it turns out that we'd like to use fixed height mode, because it's faster and it doesn't constantly try to update the treeview — we saw a significant decrease in CPU use with a table that, unfortunately, may contain a few thousand rows and some 20-ish columns.
Oddly enough, merely turning off autosizing on all the columns doesn't help, one needs to set fixed height mode too.
But of course, the cell contents are of varying length (they're text and numbers), and it would be nice to update the column size time to time (ie. when I know they should be updated, and not all the time like autosizing unfortunately does).
So what I need is being able to figure out that the newly inserted row / cell has insufficient size (I guess something to do with the GtkCellRendererText and Pango will come handy), and then resize the affected GtkTreeViewColumn using set_fixed_width. I've looked at the source of GTK+ to see what they do when autosizing, but couldn't really make head or tails of it. My main problem here is getting to the text layout and/or the cell size requirements from a given TreeView/ListStore/iter combination.
I use perl-Gtk2, but answers are welcome in any commonly used language.
MuPAD's text output is ridiculously small for me to read, and although every time I adjust the size, it does not seem to save my preferences. Is there any way to set MuPAD's text size so that it stays as I would like it to? Thanks! btw I am on a mac.
You can adjust the font size in the preferences menu:
matlab→Preferences→Notebook→Default Formats...
You can also change the text size as shown here and switch the pagination as shown here
