LabelStyle
✖
LabelStyle
is an option for formatting and related constructs that specifies the style to use in displaying their label-like elements.
Details

- Any style specification as used in Style can be used as a setting for LabelStyle.
- Typical forms of settings include:
-
"style" a named style from the current stylesheets {opt1->val1,…} a list of explicit option settings {"style",opt1->val1,…} a named style modified by option settings - Color directives such as Red, as well as text specifications such as Bold or Small, can be given in place of options, just as in Style.
- Giving the option setting LabelStyle->spec is effectively equivalent to replacing the label-like elements of a formatting or related construct by Style[label,spec].
- Any outside styles not explicitly overridden by settings in LabelStyle will still be used.
- LabelStyle is effectively applied after DefaultLabelStyle.
