create a table next to a graph on figure

Hey

I want to create a table next to a graph

Is it possible?

Example code:

clc, clear

LastName = {'Smith';'Johnson';'Williams';'Jones';'Brown'};
Age = [38;43;38;40;49];
Height = [71;69;64;67;64];
Weight = [176;163;131;133;119];
T = table(Age,Height,Weight,'RowNames',LastName)

%I want to see a picture next to the table in fig

figure(1)
subplot(121);
u=uitable('Data',T{:,:},'ColumnName',T.Properties.VariableNames,...
    'RowName',T.Properties.RowNames,'Units', 'Normalized', 'Position',[0, 0, 1, 1]);
% It does not work :(
subplot(122);
x = 0:pi/100:2*pi;
y = sin(x);
plot(y,x)

% I want like this but With a table
figure(2)
subplot(121);
x = 0:pi/100:2*pi;
y = sin(x);
plot(x,y)

subplot(122);
x = 0:pi/100:2*pi;
y = sin(x);
plot(y,x)

TNX :)

A table object can't be put in a figure and, AFAIK, it's not possible to redirect command window output to a figure other than by preparing an image independently of the content desired.

But, you can put the uitable on subplot; you used wrong coordinate system -- I reoriented it to a 2x1 format instead of 1x2, but if your data fit more better the other way, you can easily revert.

hAx=subplot(2,1,1);                                                             % set subplot area
hUI=uitable('Data',T{:,:},'ColumnName',T.Properties.VariableNames,...           
'RowName',T.Properties.RowNames,'Units', 'Normalized', 'Position',hAx.Position);% set table on top
delete(hAx)                     % no need for the axes
hAx=subplot(2,1,2);             % make the other axes
plot(x,y)                       % and plot into them

results in

Your table doesn't have enough data to take up the whole area of the axes, but you can see the outline of the area the top axes laid out.

I didn't try with nexttile; I presume same thing will happen.

Thank you very much!

you helped me alot

Do you know how to create a table title?

To graph I succeed

[dpb]

Since it (the uitable) isn't a part of handle graphics it has the figure as a parent, not the axes -- and title is associated with an axes, not a figure. You could not delete the first axes but make it invisible by

hAx(1)=subplot(2,1,1);         % set subplot area, save handle
hTitle=title('A table on same area as underlying axes');
hAx(1).Visible='off'; hTitle.Visible='on';
hUI=uitable('Data',T{:,:},'ColumnName',T.Properties.VariableNames,...           
            'RowName',T.Properties.RowNames,'Units', 'Normalized', 'Position',hAx(1).Position);
hAx(2)=subplot(2,1,2);          % make the other axes
plot(x,y)                       % and plot into them

Alternatively, you create a container of the same size as the axes and place the table in it along with a text label.

@dpb

Could it be that in versions 2018 it will not work this way?

tnx agian

What "not work" in what way?

I used R2019b but there's been no change in this area in ages that I'm aware of.

Show actual code and what didn't work as expected.

When I use the 2018 version I get the next error

Unrecognized method, property, or field 'Position' for class 'matlab.Gra​phics.axis.axes

clc, clear
LastName = {'Smith';'Johnson';'Williams';'Jones';'Brown'};
Age = [38;43;38;40;49];
Height = [71;69;64;67;64];
Weight = [176;163;131;133;119];
Table_freq_sortrows = table(Age,Height,Weight,'RowNames',LastName)
x = 0:pi/100:2*pi;
y = sin(x);
hAx=subplot(2,1,1);

hAx=subplot(2,1,2);             
plot(x,y)

You didn't keep the two axes handles but wiped out the first...look at my code more carefully.
