matrix2latex

Conversion of MATLAB 2d array, into a LaTeX table.

You are now following this Submission

Modified matrix2latex, submitted by M. Koehler, to :
  • remove all warning
  • added an inputpaser instead of the IF and FOR loop and to add varargs
Usage:
matrix2latex(matrix, filename, varargs)
where
  • matrix is a 2 dimensional numerical
  • filename is a valid filename, in which the resulting latex code will be stored
  • varargs is one ore more of the following (denominator, value) combinations :
  1. 'rowLabels', array -> Can be used to label the rows of the resulting latex table
  2. 'columnLabels', array -> Can be used to label the columns of the resulting latex table
  3. 'alignment', 'value' -> Can be used to specify the alginment of the table within the latex document. Valid arguments are: 'l', 'c', and 'r' for left, center, and right, respectively
  4. 'format', 'value' -> Can be used to format the input data. 'value' has to be a valid format string, similar to the ones used in fprintf('format', value); the default value is '%-6.2f'.
  5. 'size', 'value' -> One of latex' recognized font-sizes, e.g. tiny, HUGE, Large, large, LARGE, etc.
  6. 'caption', 'value' -> caption of table on latex.
  7. 'version', 'value' -> value = 'normal' conserve all edges of the table ; value = 'light' delete all edges, except the lines around 'columnLabels' and at the end of the table. the default value is 'normal'.
Example input:
matrix = [1.5 1.764; 3.523 0.2];
rowLabels = {'row 1', 'row 2'};
columnLabels = {'col 1', 'col 2'};
% light version
matrix2latex(matrix, 'out.tex',...
'rowLabels', rowLabels,...
'columnLabels',columnLabels',...
'caption','My table', ...
'version','light');
% normal version
matrix2latex(matrix, 'out.tex',...
'rowLabels', rowLabels,...
'columnLabels',columnLabels',...
'caption','My table');
The resulting latex file can be included into any latex document by:
/input{out.tex}
