set(groot, 'DefaultLegendInterpreter', 'LaTeX');

Default Line Width

set(groot, 'DefaultLineLineWidth', 1.5);
set(groot, 'DefaultAxesLineWidth', 0.5);

Default grids on all axis

set(groot, 'DefaultAxesXGrid','on');
set(groot, 'DefaultAxesYGrid','on');
set(groot, 'DefaultAxesZGrid','on');

Default Font Size

set(groot, 'DefaultUicontrolFontSize', 10);

Default Fonts

set(groot, 'DefaultAxesFontName', 'Helvetica');
set(groot, 'DefaultTextFontName', 'Helvetica');

Make figures into a Box

Default Plot Colors

c1 = [     0    0.4470    0.7410]; % Blue
