Hello all,

I'm using a string matrix to generate labels in plots. However, I have
a problem with white spaces. Because the text within the matrix is of
different size, it will also print the white spaces. Is there a way to
solve this problem? To clarify, some code:

coefficientname = char({'aa' 'bbbbbb' 'ccc' 'd'});

for j = 1:length(coefficient)
    plot(x(j,:),y(j,:))
    xlabel(sprintf('%s [-]',coefficientname(j,:)))
end

Thanks in advance!

Bart

I think that  str2mat is the answer.
See a little game with the magic word "abracadabra"
abracadabra =
str2mat('a','ab','abr','abra','abrac','abraca','abracad','abracada','abracadab','abracadabr','a
bracadabra');

Hi,
So many different solutions. The best way I like for representing such a
matrix is the cell and you can change back into string at any point by
"strcat." So, in your code, define the matrix as (you can write
coefficientname  on command prompt and see how it looks like):

coefficientname = {'aa' 'bbbbbb' 'ccc' 'd'};
Then for the xlabel(strcat(coefficientname(1,j) ))

Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Raja'
