You can change the default properties at the root level.  To change the default linewidth for each axes object ...

	set (0, "defaultaxeslinewidth", 1)

Very good. That works!  Two points:

1. I read the manual to mean that I should say:

   set(0, "defaultlinewidth", 1);

   Maybe I did not read carefully enough..

2. The Manual says the default is 1, but it is really 0.5.

   Would it cause problems to change the code to 1 instead of changing the Manual?
