MATLAB: Saving a table as PDF, – how can I rotate it 90 degrees

MATLABpdfrotatetable

Hello, I want to save a big table() which has like 20 columns. Therefore it would be nice to rotate the PDF paper 90 degrees.

When I save I use this

saveas(gcf,'summary','pdf')

and Matlab give me a size warning. Is there any way to rotate it?

If the table is saved as a variable, rather than saving a figure that shows the table, save the table itself to a text file. You can do that using writetable().

There are several benefits to saving the table to a text file rather than to a figure. The text file is readable if you ever need to read the table back into matlab. A figure will pixelate the text since the text is converted to an image.

If you'd rather save the figure to pdf, to rotate it, use orient().

MATLAB: How to save table with data in columns instead of one long row

No more help needed! I basically extracted the data inside the categorical cell array and the double cell arrays with the code below.

[mycellarray{:}]

I thereafter created three different columns (new variables) and then created a new table from the three columns and saved it into a csv file :D

column1 = [table.Var1{:}];
column2 = [table.Var2{:}];
column3 = [table.Var3{:}];
table_final = table(column1, column2, column3);
writetable(table_final,'filename.csv','writevariablenames',0); % writing the table without headers of the variable names
