How to show images in a GUI table

Hello,

I am trying to run a GUI that will load an excel file into a uitable. I want some of the cells of that tables to show images, or at least perhaps a thumbnail to the image. Is this possible?

My experiences suggest that you probably will not be happy with the results, as you cannot control the cell sizes the way you might hope. The cell size that will be automatically chosen will depend upon the size of the URL string, not the size of the image being inserted.

You could probably do better using the Java level; http://undocumentedmatlab.com has some articles about uitable and java.

if i need to display an imcrop of image into the uitable do i need to imwrite it first as .png file first then display it using the html method?

It probably does not need to be png specifically, but png is known to work. It could probably be jpg or bmp . Possibly not tiff though.
