num2CellStr - converts numeric or logical array to a cell array of strings
This was inspired by a recent FEX submission of the same name. However,
it should run about 100 times faster. It also runs ~12 times faster than
the one liner:
cellA = reshape(cellstr(num2str(A(:))),size(A));
Syntax:
strCell = num2CellStr(x, format)
Input parameters:
x - mandatory matrix of numeric values
format - optional format specifier. If not specified one is
picked based on the data up to 5 decimal places
Output parameters:
strCell - cell array of strings
Examples:
num2CellStr(rand(2),'%.2f')
ans =
'0.06' '0.61'
'0.13' '0.39'
