How to create a MATLAB struct that looks like a matrix?

Hello -

I would like to create a struct that looks like the attached example (i.e. with rows numbered in sequential order and columns labeled as field names with data at the intersections). Does anyone know how to do this? Everytime I create a struct I get the standard view in the variable window of listing struct field names with size of field as the value.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

It sounds like you might want a table:

If you explained what you are actually trying to achieve, then someone can probably help you.

"I would like to create a struct that looks like the attached example"

It has no meaning to request "a struct that looks like the attached example" because the visual representation of that structure depends entirely on the variable viewer, and not on the structure. How my MATLAB version might display that structure is not necessarily the same as how your MATLAB version displays it, the structure itself stores no formatting information at all, and it certainly does not store "row numbers" nor "column labels".

You seem to be confusing the visual representation of a structure with how it is stored.

Thanks for the reply. I do not want a table, I would like to keep the data as struct. That said, what I am trying to do is display (as you said, visually) a struct in the format attached in the original post as "example.mat." Any idea on how to change the struct view to achieve this?

I doubt that you can change how the inbuilt variable viewer displays a structure.

You could write your own GUI which displays a structure as you want.

Why don't you want a table? They function similarly to structs, with dot-indexing

I did - and it works great. Thank you both!
