A LaTeX table can be used in a MATLAB text box. The following example illustrates how to do that:
cs = '\begin{tabular}{lll} Chicago&U.S.A.&1893\\ Z\"{u}rich&Switzerland&1897\\ Paris&France&1900\\ Heidelberg&Germany&1904\\ Rome&Italy&1908 \end{tabular}';
figure;
ha = annotation('textbox',[0.5 0.5 0.4 0.2], 'Interpreter', 'latex');
set(ha, 'String', cs);
