Hello everybody!

To customize uitbales in Matlab I used the solution posted in:

http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/92437-how-do-i-change-the-color-of-individual-cells-in-uitable-in-matlab-7-10-r2010a

which works perfectly.

Additionally, I would like to align each cell content (strings) to the center of the cell. To do so I tried changing:

colText('Blue text', 'blue'), ...

to

colText('<HTML><p style="text-align:center">Blue text</p></HTML>', 'blue')

But it does not show any effect.

Can you tell me how it is possible to change the text alignment in the cells using the suggested code snippet from the posted link and maybe give an example?

Thank you very much in advance!

style attributes and css are newer than the HTML that is supported. Use the HTML CENTER tag instead.

Thank you for your answer. Do you mean

colText('<html><center>test</center></html>', 'blue'), ...

?

Unfortunatelly that doesn't work either =/

Note: in the time since this question was originally asked, uifigure() were added. uitable() that exist within uifigure() have additional formatting possibilities
