Matlab printmat

Question

I am new to Matlab. Is there a way to use printmat to print 2 words heading?

Example result as followed:

 Title One        Title Two             


        

Answer 1

According to Matlabs help, printmat will not provide what you are seeking. You can use sprintf instead.

a = [ 11 22 33; 22 33 44];
s = {'Title One' 'Title Two' 'Title Three'};
s1 = sprintf('%12s\t%12s\t%12s\t\n', s{:});
s2 = sprintf('%12d\t%12d\t%12d\n', a);

horzcat(s1,s2)

This results in

ans =

   Title One       Title Two     Title Three    
          11              22              22
          33              33              44

~edit~
If the use of printmat is preferable (e.g., because it is more flexible) you can work around by using evalc and strrep. The trick here is to replace the spaces with other symbols (e.g. question marks) in the call to printmat, store the output in a string via evalc, and then use strrep to replace the question marks by spaces. As a nice byproduct, you get the table as a string...

a = [ 11 22 33; 22 33 44];
x = evalc('printmat(matA, '''' , ''a b c'' , ''Title?One Title?Two Title?Three'')');

s = strrep(x, '?', ' ')

This results in

s =


                 Title One    Title Two  Title Three
            a     11.00000     22.00000     33.00000
            b     22.00000     33.00000     44.00000

However, the combination of printmat and evalc causes a lot of apostrophes...
