Bug introduced in 10.0.0 and persisting through 11.0.1 or later

I'm trying to use SetOptions to set the global font size for DateListPlot plots. My problem is that this is not working. Even this simple test does not change the font size:

SetOptions[DateListPlot, BaseStyle -> FontSize -> 20];
DateListPlot[{{"2010-10-10", 4.1`}, {"2010-10-17", 8}, {"2010-10-24", 
   5.6`}, {"2010-10-31", 8.6`}}, PlotLabel -> "Test"]

Is there other way to change the predefined fontsize in DateListPlot?

EDIT: I'm using Mathematica 10.0.2.0 in Linux x86 (64-bit)

  • $\begingroup$ It works here on MMA8/MacOSX. Also, try setting option for Graphics, instead of DataListPlot. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Works fine on V9 but have the same problem as you with 10.0.2 on OS X. I also tried BaseStyle -> Directive[FontSize -> 48] and BaseStyle -> {FontSize -> 48}. Yet another V10 bug (am adding the tag). When is 10.0.3 coming out? $\endgroup$

This can easily be fixed by adding the missing BaseStyle -> Graphics`DateListPlotDump`basestyle to Graphics`DateListPlotDump`options

So if you either execute the code below before calling DateListPlot or put this into your init.m file, then SetOptions just works.

I am sure this will be fixed in the next release (since the fix is so easy).

What I really like about the Wolfram system is that it is so open and that you can fix quite a lot of (kernel) bugs yourself (if you are in the mood and have the time, of course). Unfortunately for the FrontEnd bugs that seems not to be true.
