Decreasing the size of a row in a uitable

I have a column of row names in a uitable, however one of the row names is quite long and the uitable automatically centralises the row name and puts a large gap either side of it. This means the data in the next column can't be fully displayed without a scroll bar, which makes it more difficult to interpret quickly. How do I decrease the size of the width of the column containing row names?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Looks like you can just change the ColumnName property directly:

>> uit.ColumnName

ans =

6×1 cell array

{'Last Name' }

{'Age' }

{'Weight' }

{'Height' }

{'Smoker' }

{'Health Status'}

>> uit.ColumnName{6} = 'Health';

>> uit.ColumnName

ans =

6×1 cell array

{'Last Name'}

{'Age' }

{'Weight' }

{'Height' }

{'Smoker' }

{'Health' }
