Here's a demo that embeds images in cells of a uitable but as @Walter Roberson mentioned, the image size will be small, and the aspect ratio may change since all icons are the same size.
uistyle is used to create icons from the images and addStyle is used to place the images in the uitable cells.
% 1. Create a demo table of images
images = ["circle.jpg" "clock.jpg" "catherine.jpg" "hexagon.jpg", "laure.jpg", "pearswtx.jpg" "star.jpg" "triangle.jpg"];
T = table('Size',[numel(images),5], ...
'VariableTypes',["string" "string" "double" "double" "double"], ...
'VariableNames',["Image" "Format" "BitDepth" "Width" "Height"]);
T.Image = images(:);
for i = 1:numel(images)
info = imfinfo(T.Image(i));
T.Format(i) = info.Format;
T.BitDepth(i) = info.BitDepth;
T.Width(i) = info.Width;
T.Height(i) = info.Height;
end
% 2. Create the uitable and embed images in column 1.
fig = uifigure;
uit = uitable(fig,"Data",T, ...
'Units','normalized', ...
'Position',[.05 .05 .9 .9], ...
'FontSize', 16);
for i = 1:height(T)
imgStyle = uistyle("Icon",T.Image(i));
addStyle(uit, imgStyle, 'cell', [i,1])
end
