Display matrix with row and column labels

Question

Is there a convenient way to display a matrix with row and column labels in the Matlab terminal? Something like this:

M = rand(5);
displaymatrix(M, {\'FOO\'         


        

Answer 1

It looks like your data has some structure to it so you can put it in a more structured class - a dataset, part of the Statistics toolbox.

>> M = rand(5);
>> dataset({M 'FOO','BAR','BAZ','BUZZ','FUZZ'}, ...
                'obsnames', {'ROW1','ROW2','ROW3','ROW4','ROW5'})

ans = 
            FOO        BAR         BAZ        BUZZ         FUZZ    
    ROW1    0.52853     0.68921    0.91334     0.078176     0.77491
    ROW2    0.16565     0.74815    0.15238      0.44268      0.8173
    ROW3    0.60198     0.45054    0.82582      0.10665     0.86869
    ROW4    0.26297    0.083821    0.53834       0.9619    0.084436
    ROW5    0.65408     0.22898    0.99613    0.0046342     0.39978

Alternatively, if you are publishing your output, here is one example of several functions that will take a matrix w/ row,col names and produce an html formatted table.
