When creating a Uitable inside a figure according to the documentation if i use a vertical slash while naming the columns i can create a new line, but when i code it it only appears the vertical slash |
d = {'LogStart', 0.2, 'Log End', 800, 3000};
ColumnNames = {'BGGas top|Zone name', 'BGGas value|%',...
'BGGas base|zone name', 'BGGas top|zone depth',...
'BGGas base|zone depth'};
zones = {'LogStart', 'Neogene', 'Paleogene', 'Cretaceous', 'Jurassic',...
'Triassic', 'Permian', 'Carboniferous', 'Devonian', 'Silurian',...
'Ordivician', 'Cambrian'};
fig = uifigure('Name', 'Enter Background Gas Value',...
'CloseRequestFcn',@Parent_closefcn);
%-------Table------
uit = uitable(fig);
uit.Position(1:2) = [10,150];
uit.Position(3:4) = [fig.Position(3)-20, fig.Position(4)-220];
uit.ColumnSortable = false;
uit.RowName = 'numbered';
uit.ColumnName = ColumnNames;
uit.Data = d;
uit.ColumnFormat = {zones, 'numeric', 'char', 'numeric', 'numeric'};
uit.ColumnEditable = [true true false false false true];
When run the GUI looks like this:
![](https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/409890/image.png)
'<html>BGGas top<br />Zone name</html>'

With no success. Any idea why this is happening? or any alternative method for a multiline?
Thank you

For uifigure() such as you are using then
Using | for ColumnName is not documented there.
The documentation for | is over at https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/matlab.ui.control.table-properties.html which is for traditional figures.
