Hello,
I am not quite sure, if my question is a double of this:
so I rather open a new topic.
I have a table created with matrix2table().
Assume that it is possible to display the full table at the console, because its a rather small one…e.g.: 5 colums and 20 entries / column.
Questions:
-
Is it possible to output the table from the console into a file (PDF) ?
-
Is it possible to display the table as a figure?
(I guess this is what was already answered in the thread mentioned above.)
The workaround that I can think of would be to use a lot of xstring() to create a proper figure and use xs2pdf() afterwards.
OR:
Use writetable() , save as .csv, reopen with EXCEL or OpenOffice and convert here to PDF.
Any other ways to do?
Best regards,
Philipp
I just figured, that it is possible to do something like this:
xstring(0,1, mTable.props.VariableNames );
xstring(0,0, string(mTable(1:20,:)) );
Depending on the figure() and axes()settings the result may look like this:
Is there any chance to find a parameter for setting the column spacing?
If not: Ok, just beeing curious.
I am able to position the columns either by a given value or by a for-loop.
A bit more tweeking is necessary, but I guess I go for “creating a figure” and than xs2pdf().
Best Regards,
Philipp
Hello Philipp,
For this kind of stuff, a possible way to go is to use LaTeX and the tabular environment. Here is a small example:
t = table(rand(5,3,"normal"), ...
"VariableNames",["var1Name","var2Name","myLongVarName"])
[n,m] = size(t);
head = strcat("\bf "+t.props.VariableNames,"&") + "\\"
data = strcat(strcat(string(t),"&","c"),"\\")
str = [ sprintf("\\sf\\begin{tabular}{%s}",strcat("r"(ones(1,m)),"|"))
head; "\hline"; data; "\end{tabular}" ];
h = xstringb(0,0,strcat(str,ascii(10)),1,1,"fill");
h.interpreter = "latex";
xs2pdf(gcf(),"table.pdf")
Here is the output in a Scilab figure (the pdf looks strictly the same):
