Hi! It is my understanding that you want to export a table as a PNG file.
To export a table as a PNG file, you can utilize MATLAB's "uitable" function. This function creates a table UI component within the current figure and returns the “table” UI component object. The key aspect is to align the table properly so that it occupies the entire figure and appears visually appealing. This can be achieved by adjusting the position of the uitable and figure.
Once the table is positioned correctly, you can convert the figure to an image using the "getframe" and "frame2im" functions. After obtaining the image data, you can save it as a PNG file using the "imwrite" function. To gain a better understanding, refer to the example code provided below.
% creating a table.
LastName = {'Sanchez';'Johnson';'Li';'Diaz';'Brown'};
Age = [38;43;38;40;49];
Smoker = logical([1;0;1;0;1]);
Height = [71;69;64;67;64];
Weight = [176;163;131;133;119];
T = table(LastName,Age,Smoker,Height,Weight);
%create a new figure.
fig = uifigure;
%create a uitable
uit = uitable(fig, "Data",T);
% adjusting the table to fit the entire figure for cleanliness.
uit.Position(3) = fig.Position(3) - 80;
uit.Position(4) = fig.Position(4) - 80;
% Capture the table window as an image
frame = getframe(fig); % Get the current figure window
imageData = frame2im(frame); % Convert the frame to an image
% Save the image as a PNG file
imwrite(imageData, 'table.png');
I have attached "table.png" for your reference
For a more comprehensive understanding of the "uitable" function in MATLAB and its properties, I recommend referring to the following link:
