writelatextable - writes a 2D array to a LaTeX table

Writes a 2d array to a LaTeX table given heading and format specifiers.

It can make nice looking LaTeX tables.

It was designed to work with a GUI (latextableassist.m), which simplifies the compilation of table formats.

By specifying the output file name, table caption, label, column format, and column headings it writes a LaTeX table that can have different column dividers and headings that span multiple rows and/or columns.

The table's body is filled with the content of a 2D number array and formatted with a cell array of strings combining LaTeX style column format strings (like '|c|') and printf style ones (like '%10.8e') to get strings like '|c%10.8e|'.

The column headings are defined using an array of structs like:
Headers(1).text = 'Altitude [km]';
Headers(1).format = '|||c||';
Headers(1).rows = [1 2];
Headers(1).cols = [1];
to give the first heading entry shown in the attached picture.

Captions and LaTeX labels can also be chosen.

Assembling the format strings and header structs by hand can get tedious so I recommend using this in conjunction with latextableassist.m but it isn't required.

If the headings span rows and/or columns you will need the LaTeX multirow package.
