Fitting a uitable to a subplot

Hi. I want to programatically add a uitable to a subplot position (without using guide). Whilst I have been able to do this, Im not able to fill the subplot region. Is it possible to do this (at least in the horizontal dimension)

This is my code:

% create the data
% Create the column and row names in cell arrays 
cnames = {'Z','FMc','FMc','AvgI'};
rnames = {'1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8'};
% Create the uitable
t = uitable(f1,'Data',data,...
            'ColumnName',cnames,... 
            'RowName',rnames,...
            'ColumnWidth',{50});
subplot(1,2,2),plot(3)
pos = get(subplot(1,2,2),'position');
delete(subplot(1,2,2))
set(t,'units','normalized')
set(t,'position',pos)

I was wondering if the ColumnWidth variable could somehow be calculated from the subplot width?

With FEX: findjobj

% Auto-resize:
jScroll = findjobj(t);
jTable  = jScroll.getViewport.getView;
jTable.setAutoResizeMode(jTable.AUTO_RESIZE_SUBSEQUENT_COLUMNS);
drawnow;

Thanks, thats perfect!

Thanks Jan! Do you know how to auto-resize the rows too? I tried "jTable.AUTO_RESIZE_SUBSEQUENT_ROWS" but it doesn't seem to exist.

@Spencer G: You are right, there is not auto-resizing of rows. I've found some links about auto-resizing of tables vertically:

• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17858132/automatically-adjust-jtable-column-to-fit-content
• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1783607/auto-adjust-the-height-of-rows-in-a-jtable
• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37341354/resize-jtable-to-fit-number-of-rows

But I do not have time to implement this in Matlab currently.

I've been looking for a solution to this for days, and your solution worked perfectly in MATLAB 2022a. Thanks!
