writing a table into a subplot of a figure

I would like to create a figure with a few subplots, at least one of these being a data table to show the statistics (mean, st. dev., st. err.) of some measurements in the plots.
How do I write a table into a figure? I have tried fprintf, disp, sprintf, all of which write into the workspace, and I have tried text which is good for writing something, but not necessarily the organization of a table. Sometimes numbers will be big and other times they will be small, so using the text command becomes complicated in laying out the table and having it fit into the subplot.
Is there a function for a table? Is there an easier way to do it with text? Can I have a table without figure axes?

I recently worked this out for my personal case - UITABLE is great, but did not give me the look I wanted. Here is what I did:
NOTE: Using Courier is good for the justification issues to get text aligned.
% Convert to text
intCellString = cell([size(sub_rmsint_tab,1) 1]);
for ii = 1:size(sub_rmsint_tab,1)
thisRow = [];
for jj = 1:size(sub_rmsint_tab,2)
if isnan(sub_rmsint_tab(ii,jj))
thisRow = [thisRow ' '];
else
%thisRow = [thisRow sprintf('%7.0f',sub_rmsint_tab(ii,jj))];
thisRow = [thisRow sprintf('%7.0f\t',sub_rmsint_tab(ii,jj))];
end
end
intCellString{ii,1} = thisRow;
end
% Convert to text
depCellString = cell([size(sub_dep_tab,1) 1]);
for ii = 1:size(sub_dep_tab,1)
thisRow = [];
for jj = 1:size(sub_dep_tab,2)
thisRow = [thisRow sprintf('%7.0f\t',sub_dep_tab(ii,jj))];
end
depCellString{ii,1} = thisRow;
end
x = -3;
y = -5;
subplot(1,3,3)
myBigTable = [{' From Semblance Analysis'};...
{' TWTT Depth TWTT bsf Depth bsf Vint Vrms'};...
intCellString; {' '};{' '};{' '};...
{' From Refraction Modeling'};...
{' TWTT Depth TWTT bsf Depth bsf Vint Vrms'}; ...
depCellString];
t1 = text(x,y,myBigTable);
set(t1,'fontname','courier')
set(t1,'fontsize',6)
set(t1,'HorizontalAlignment','left')

It worked well for me when I used a well-formed HTML expression:
'Δ'
But frustrating that it's inconsistent with the rest of Matlab and not well documented (I'd be out of luck if it weren't for this post).
