sprintf text justification in uitable

4 views (last 30 days)
I set the text in each cell of a uitable with sprintf so I can specify the number format of the data I am displaying. Is there any way to make these numbers centered in the table cells?

Not exactly. You can set the font to a fixed width font, and set the ColumnFormat to 'char', and you can set the ColumnWidth to particular number of pixels. But then you need to set the cell contents to a character string calculated to center in that width.
cb = (col_pixel_width / pixels_per_char - chars_needed_for_value) / 2;
formatted_field = [blanks(floor(cb)) unformated_field blanks(ceil(cb))];
