See Data Display of Editable Columns in the ColumnFormat property description for more information.Īutomatic widths - Specify 'auto' to have MATLAB calculate the widths of the columns automatically using several factors, one of which is the ColumnName property value.įit widths to content ( uifigure-based apps only) - Specify a value of 'fit' to configure columns to strictly adjust widths to fit column names and data. If data is edited and results in a mismatch between the data type of the data and the ColumnFormat property, MATLAB converts the data or displays a warning. Use the ColumnFormat property to specify the format for data that is a numeric, logical, cell, or string array, or a cell array of character vectors. Specify Numeric, Logical, Cell, String Array, or Cell Array of Character Vectors If you try to set the ColumnFormat property, MATLAB returns a warning.įor more information on displaying table array data, see Table Array Data Types in App Designer Apps. The data type of each table array variable controls formatting for the corresponding column in the app.
#Matlab table update
Changing the RowName property of the Table UI component updates the UI, but it does not update the row names in the table array. Changing the ColumnName property of the Table UI component updates the UI, but it does not update the variable names in the table array.īy default, the row names displayed in the app match the RowName property of the table array. When you specify the Data property of a Table UI component as a table array, then MATLAB sets the format of the Table UI component automatically based on the values in the table array:īy default, the column names displayed in the app match the VariableNames property of the table array. By contrast, the uitable function creates a Table UI component (a user interface component for an app). The table, readtable, and array2table functions create table arrays. Table arrays provide a convenient way to store tabular data as a MATLAB variable. In App Designer and apps created using the uifigure function, you can specify the Data property as a table array. When a user edits a cell, the Data property updates. To prevent warnings or NaN values that display when users enter invalid data into an editable cell, write a CellEditCallback function to convert the data to the appropriate type. String array - Displays characters and text.Ĭell array of character vectors - Displays characters and text. true values correspond to selected boxes, whereas false values display cleared boxes.Ĭell array - Displays any combination of numeric, logical, or character array values. Numeric array - Displays numeric values such as double or single. Table array ( uifigure-based apps only) - Displays any combination of data types that table arrays support, such as datetime, duration, and categorical.
