how to align text in a table cell

hay I create a table in a GUI, this table contains data. that aligns the center of cells, so how I want to align text left in the cell

[Oleg Komarov]

Do you want to align numbers or strings to the left?

Can you provide an example of what you've done?

align string

The display of your above text looks very strange in my browser. A picture would be better.

Because the Matlab UITABLE does not offer a method to alighn text, you could try: FEX: Java-Table

Set the format for that column to '%15s' or whatever you want the width to be. Strings which are shorter than that number will be right-padded with spaces.

exemple please

[Walter Roberson]

set(handles.uitable, 'ColumnFormat', {'char',[],[],[]} );

I use a guide to realize my ihm, and I put the following code :

rowHeaders = {'piyavskii','evtushenko passif','evtushenko itiratif','brent','branch & bound piyavskii'};
columnHeaders =  {'nombre d evaluation','argmin f(x)','min f(x)','temps  execution'};
set(handles.uitable,'RowName',rowHeaders);
set(handles.uitable,'ColumnName',columnHeaders);
set(handles.uitable,'data',M );% M is matrix

here our results:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                    | nombre d evaluation | argmin f(x) ...
------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
             piyavskii              | 
-------------------------------------------------------------------
         evtushenko passif          |    
-------------------------------------------------------------------
                .
                .                   |                
----------------------------------------------------------------
       branch & bound piyavskii     |
---------------------------------------------------------------

but I want the results like this:

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------

                         | nombre d evaluation | argmin f(x) ...
------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
piyavskii                | 
-------------------------------------------------------------------
evtushenko passif        |    
-------------------------------------------------------------------
 .
 .                       |                
----------------------------------------------------------------
branch & bound piyavskii |
---------------------------------------------------------------

how ? thank you.
