Hallo! I have this table wich consists of two columns one singe(AlplaParameter) and one double(ConfidenceInt)
I used this command in order export the table as figure
uitable('Data',T{:,:},'ColumnName',T.Properties.VariableNames,'RowName',T.Properties.RowNames,'Units', 'Normalized', 'Position',[0, 0, 1, 1]);
Unfortunatelly, the second column is transformed to two single columns leaving the column name empty. Here is a picture that illustates the problem:
How can I merge the title cells of 2nd and 3rd column?

That is not possible with uitable.
  • You can set the Data to a numeric array, in which case each array element will be made into a separate entry, same as if you had set the data to num2cell() of the numeric array
  • You can set the Data to a cell array. Each entry in the cell array must be either a numeric scalar or a logical scalar or a string() scalar or a character (row) vector. It is not possible to set an entry to be a 1 x 2 numeric array.
The closest you could get to this is to convert the entries for the dual column into character, such as
data = [num2cell(YourTable.AlpaParameter), cellstr(num2str(YourTable.ConfidenceInt))];
uitable(...', 'Data', data)

Thanks you again for your response! This image illustrates the problem I am talking about:
Is there a way to solve this problem? Or maybe another way to create a table figure?

Is it possible that you changed the font for the uitable to something that is proportionally spaced?
The code I gave,
data2 = sprintfc('<HTML><table border=0 width=150><td><CENTER>%10.4f %10.4f', YourTable.ConfidenceInt);
puts spaces in in the middle, both by the blanks and because the %10.4f format is larger than is needed for that data. Did you possibly change that code?

No, I just copied and pasted your code (changing of course the YourTable part). The blanks between the %10.4f do not effect the table format as I see after increasing or decreasing them. Is there another way(with code) to insert the blanks? May this problem be because I am using matlab 2015?

Very odd... The spacing does show up if the ColumnWidth has been left 'auto' and you have not changed the width by attempting to drag it. Unfortunately in that combination, the second column is cut off because 'auto' is not wide enough to hold all of the information. As soon as you change the width of the second column, the spacing disappears!
I do not understand at the moment why this is happening. It will require more exploration.
