No. Eventually you will run out of memory. Even sooner, though,
you will run out of screen space. (Text uicontrols do not put up
scrollbars; edit uicontrols put up scrollbars, but only vertially,
wrapping the text horizonatally.)

Matlab takes a long time to render even relatively modest sized
matrices, such as

uicontrol('Style','text','String', num2str(rand(5000,5000)))

Several minutes so far...

While it won't work for 'any size,' if your matrix is small
enough and you have an axes in the GUI you could do
something like this:


n = 17; % The size of the matrix.
a = round(rand(n)*20); % Create the matrix.
conv = repmat('%02d ',1,n); % String converter.
txt = sprintf([conv,'\n'],a'); % Text to print.
tw = text(.01,.5,txt); % Print the text.
set(gca,'xtick',[]);
set(gca,'ytick',[]);

You might want to look into using a UITABLE.
