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

Well, the documentation of printmat tells you that

PRINTMAT(A,NAME,RLAB,CLAB) prints the matrix A with the row labels RLAB and column labels CLAB. NAME is a string used to name the
matrix. RLAB and CLAB are string variables that contain the row
and column labels delimited by spaces.

So spaces in the title are not natively supported.

As a workaround, you can use another separator that "looks like a space", for example, the unit separator:

printmat (
    matA, '', 'one two', ...
    ['Title' char(31) 'One Title' char(31) 'Two Title' char(31) 'Three']);

output:

Test = 
           Title One    Title Two  Title Three
    one     11.00000     22.00000     33.00000
    two     22.00000     33.00000     44.00000

But as you see, this gets awkward real fast. It will also probably not look right when printed to file or some other output than the Matlab command window (terminal, for instance). You'll have to experiment a bit.

Personally I would just write my own, more general pretty-printer using cells and sprintf with specific field-widths in the format string, as suggested by H.Muster (+1).
