Creating text and LaTeX tables on the fly

Allows the creation of formatted and customizable tables in plain text and LaTeX formats on the fly

This package implements a Matlab class which simplifies the creation of plain text and LaTeX tables.
In contrast to similar implementations, methods are provided to populate the cells of the table one by one.
This is especially suitable to watch the output of algorithms while they are running.
It is possible to skip columns.
Here is a minimal example:
t = mtable('stdout','txt');
t.add_column('iter','ITER','%4d');
t.add_column('sqrt','SQRT','%8.2e');
t.end_definition;
t.print_header;
t.print_separator;
for i=1:10
t.push_data('iter',i);
t.push_data('sqrt',sqrt(i));
if (mod(i,5) == 0)
t.print_separator;
else
t.print_newline;
end
end
t.close;
