Matlab

Matlab requires a manual change to scale its graphical interface on high density monitors. Type these commands in the Matlab GUI:

>> settings;s.matlab.desktop.DisplayScaleFactor

>> s.matlab.desktop.DisplayScaleFactor.PersonalValue = 2

and re-start Matlab afterwards.

Hints:

• Some Matlab releases are buggy and won't safe these changes (e.g. Matlab 9.15 a.k.a R2023b). Use a different Matlab release in that case.
