Printing a table to a postscript file.

Hello,

I would like to print a formatted table such as one created using the table function, to a postscript file. The reason for the .ps file is that it will be used to generate a PDF report. Here's an example of a simple table that I've created:

rows = {'rowA'; 'rowB'; 'rowC'; 'rowD'};
col1 = {'a1'; 'b1'; 'c1'; 'd1'};
col2 = {'a2'; 'b2'; 'c2'; 'd2'};
col3 = {'a3'; 'b3'; 'c3'; 'd3'};
col4 = {'a4'; 'b4'; 'c4'; 'd4'};

tab = table(col1, col2, col3, col4, 'RowNames', rows);

The table is displayed in the command window in a nicely formatted manner which I would like to preserve. See it below:

Is there any way to create a figure from this table so that I may print it to a .ps file? I am using ps2pdf in order to generate the PDF. It works perfectly for printing figures.

Thanks!!

Mike

One possibility would be to incorporate a

disp(T)

Inside of a script and then publish to PDF.
