MATLAB: How to change size of uitable

changecolumnsrowssize;uitable

Hello everyone,

I have calculated a few values that I want to display in a table. Since I couldn't find any other tables for matlab I am now using uitable. The problem is that I have about 8 columns and only 2 rows. When the table is displayed it only shows me the first 3 columns and then I can scroll right to see my other values. Is there a way to make the displayed part of the table larger? I would like to see ALL my values right away!

Thanks alot!!

Hi,

you can resize the columns of your uitable.

once you have filled the table with your data, you can use the ColumnWidth parameter

something like :

figure;
data = rand(2,8);
u = uitable('Position',[20 20 500 70],'data',data)
pause(2)
set(u,'ColumnWidth',{50})

you can mix the use of the position and ColumnWidth parameters to get the result you prefer.

1) "Can I add print to the menubar?

You can add anything you want to the menubar. From the AppDesigner interface, drag and drop the Menu Bar from the Figure Tool section to your GUI. Add a new menu item and rename the new "Menu" to "Print". Then in the MenuSelectionFcn() callback function, you can assign any subroutine you'd like. However, print() is not supported for UIFigures (bummer) so I'm not sure what you intend to print. You can always use a 3rd party screen shot program.

2) "Can I add, save, saveas...."

Similar to my comment above, save(), saveas() and savefig() are not supported for UIFigure (double bummer).

[UPDATE]

If you're working with GUIDE or a GUI developed from uicontrol(), you can add a button, name it "save", and in its callback function, you can save an image of the GUI like this.

saveas(handles.MyGUI, 'MyGUIsnapshot', 'png')
% * 'MyGui' is the handle to your GUI figure.  
% * I don't recommend saving it as 'fig' since you'll end up with 
% multiple GUIs instead of an image of your GUI.

3) "Can I manipuate a table to have move-up and move-down buttons? "

The tables in appdesigner already have those features.

4) "Can I have pan, rotate, etc. for a figure?"

Yes! For UI axes, both rotate3d() and pan() only support the on and off arguments.

pan(app.UIAxes, 'on') 
rotate3d(app.UIAxes, 'on')

MATLAB: Does “Auto Width” feature not adapt to table axes size in GUIDE

Not that I've been able to figure out. I've noticed also that AutoSize columns does not work for GUIDE. But Autosize is supposed to size the column width according to the widest cell contents in each column, not autosize columns to the width of the table control on your GUI.

The Mathworks is not putting any more work into GUIDE. They're focusing solely on App Designer from now on, so there will be no fix coming from them.
