latex

Output a matrix in LaTeX format.

Description

This file will output a MATLAB numeric matrix in a format suitable to paste into a LaTeX tabular environment. You can choose whether to individually cast each element in math mode (you wouldn't want to in the AMS bmatrix environment, for example). You can also choose a format specifier independently for each column of the matrix.

I find this useful to convert true matrices, convergence tables, and the like into a document-ready form. It's independent of the Symbolic Toolbox.

Examples:>> latex(toeplitz(1:4))
$1.0000$ & $2.0000$ & $3.0000$ & $4.0000$ \\
$2.0000$ & $1.0000$ & $2.0000$ & $3.0000$ \\
$3.0000$ & $2.0000$ & $1.0000$ & $2.0000$ \\
$4.0000$ & $3.0000$ & $2.0000$ & $1.0000$ \\

>> latex(toeplitz(1:4),'%i','nomath')
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \\
2 & 1 & 2 & 3 \\
3 & 2 & 1 & 2 \\
4 & 3 & 2 & 1

>> latex(toeplitz(1:4),'%i','%.2f')
$1$ & $2.00$ & $3.00$ & $4.00$ \\
$2$ & $1.00$ & $2.00$ & $3.00$ \\
$3$ & $2.00$ & $1.00$ & $2.00$ \\
$4$ & $3.00$ & $2.00$ & $1.00$

[Yves Blattmann]

Nice, simple and effective.
Thanks to programmer...

[Javad Farzi]

great.
I dont know if this code works with ratinal numbers or nut? for example, maybe somone want to generate a table with ratinal numbers to a book or other texts.

[Wolfgang Schwanghart]

A very helpful tool. Thanks a lot.

[Craig Robinson]

Worked perfectly for what I needed. I like the option of 'nomath' option.

[Paul Bendixen]

Super tool!
This is really keeping it simple, thank you very much

[Simone Scaringi]

WOW!!!! Thanks!

[Jas Ellis]

Great, also deals with NaNs!

[Richard Crozier]

Thnks, handy
