I am writing a small snippet to display trees of objects hierarchically.
I want to use standard Matlab functions as much as possible, therefore, I want to use disp() to display at least everything I don't care about implementing display() myself.
Is it possible to add, say, 10 spaces on the left of the output produced by disp(a)?
so that instead of:
>> a = 5
a =
5
I had
>> a = 5
a =
5

You can evalc() the disp to get aa character vector with newlines in it. you can modify that to add the required number of spaces and then display the results

USe fprintf
a = 5 ;
fprintf(' %f\n',a)

Trees of objects tends to suggest that the inputs are not necessarily numeric .

Just use fprintf() or sprintf()
a=5;
fprintf(' a=\n')
fprintf(' %d\n',a)
