Put structure data into GUIDE table

Hello!

I would like to load data from a structure 'struc' into a GUIDE table 'file_table'. The structure has the following fields:

file_name: {8×1 cell}

serial_number: {8×1 cell}

event_date_time: {8×1 cell}

ppv: {8×1 cell}

shot_assignment: {8×2 cell}

instlocs: [8×2 double]

instadd: [8×1 string]

I just use

set(handles.file_table,'Data',struc);

I have tried a whole bunch of changes to the structure (the structure is from someone else's coding), with no success. What am I doing wrong? I can trim the instlocs and shot_assignment fields to be 8x1.

Thanks!.

Douglas - perhaps you need to convert the struct to a table before setting the uitable. Try using struct2table to see if that helps.

Hello Geoff,

As Walter Roberson indicated once (I do read the old answers!), it appears that GUIDE created figures can't use tables created this way. Any other thoughts? I am just having trouble getting data into even a stupid junk table!

Thanks!

Douglas - once you convert the struct to a table, then convert the table to a cell array with table2cell. That will just give you the data (not the column headers). For example (from the struct2table function),

S.Name = {'CLARK';'BROWN';'MARTIN'};
S.Gender = {'M';'F';'M'};
S.SystolicBP = [124;122;130];
S.DiastolicBP = [93;80;92];

T = struct2table(S);
C = table2cell(T);

set(handles.uitable1, 'Data', C, 'ColumnName', T.Properties.VariableNames);

Thank you very much, Geoff!

That works. Amazing how roundabout one sometimes has to go.
