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')
$1$ & $2.00$ & $3.00$ & $4.00$ \\
$2$ & $1.00$ & $2.00$ & $3.00$ \\
$3$ & $2.00$ & $1.00$ & $2.00$ \\
$4$ & $3.00$ & $2.00$ & $1.00$

very nice
Very simple and yet extremely helpful. I suggest using it together with fprintf as you can see in the example below. That way, a raw LaTeX table is created that can easily be used to design LaTeX tables in your desired style and format.
fileID = fopen('testtab.tex', 'w');
fprintf(fileID, '%s', latex(data,'%.2f'));
fclose(fileID);
This is really useful, thanks!
I use it several times a week, brilliant piece of code. Thank you.
Thnks, handy
Great, also deals with NaNs!
WOW!!!! Thanks!
Super tool!
This is really keeping it simple, thank you very much
Worked perfectly for what I needed. I like the option of 'nomath' option.
A very helpful tool. Thanks a lot.
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.
Nice, simple and effective.
Thanks to programmer...
simple and intuitive. good work.
Works well - very nice programmed. Thanks a lot.
