Table customization in figures

Hello, I want to cutomize a table that i draw in a figure. I can change the font of the values, but not the font size of the column and row title. Also setting the column width as auto, doesnt fit when font size of the data is increased. i need to do this manually.

my code:

pos = get(tbl, 'Position');
un = get(tbl, 'Units');

uitable(h2, 'Data', T_tx1{:,:},...
    'FontSize', 13,...
    'ColumnWidth', {100,100,100},...
    'ColumnName', T_tx1.Properties.VariableNames,...
    'RowName', T_tx1.Properties.RowNames,...
    'Units', un, 'Position', [pos(1) 2/3 (1-pos(1)) (1-2/3)]);

uitable(h2, 'Data', T_tx2{:,:},...
    'FontSize', 13,...
    'ColumnWidth', {100,100,100},...
    'ColumnName', T_tx2.Properties.VariableNames,...
    'RowName', T_tx2.Properties.RowNames,...
    'Units', un, 'Position', [pos(1) 1/3 (1-pos(1)) (1-2/3)]);

Also is there any way to highlight the cells based on some criteria? like yellow, green or red? And control the decomal points of the values?

Hi Md Arif Ahmed Roni.

It is my understanding that you want to change the font size of the column and row titles and highlight a row based on some criteria. The ability to control the font size of “uitable” column and row title in MALTAB is not supported currently. However, you can highlight a row using “uistyle” and “addStyle” functions. Here is a sample code for the same:

s = uistyle("BackgroundColor","yellow");
for i=1:row % no. of rows
    if i==2
        addStyle(uit,s,"row",i);
    end
end

You can refer to the following documentation to know more about the functions used:

Hi,

I think you can control the header of columns and rows by html code, have a look into the details with below link:
