I want to print a table via uitable, with the data for the table-entries stored in a matrix called plot. Every entry should be a string, consisting of 2 chars i.e. p0 or u1,... The matrix should be filled in two nested for-loops.

But whenever I want to store a string as an element. i.e. plot(i,j)='a1' i get the error 

"??? Assignment has more non-singleton rhs dimensions than non-singleton subscripts"

on the other hand, when i initialize a matrix completely at the beginning i.e. 

plot=['aa' 'ab';'ba' 'bb']

it seems to work just fine.

I would be very thankful for any ideas concerning the problem. Would there be any way to solve the problem with a cell array?

To store string, use a cell array. Also, don't call your matrix plot, that's the name of a built in function. For example:

plotData{1,2} = 'hello';
plotData{1,1} = 'hi';

To access an item in the cell array:

plotData{1,1}
ans = hi

  • Oh, thanks a lot! I thought, a Cell Array wouldn't work as 'Data' with an uitable, but it seems to works just fine :) – user2212532 Mar 26 '13 at 17:14
