how to add a table (figure) and display my text into 5 lines ?

Hi,

I am wondering how to create a table with uitable and fill it when the user presses the button.

before he presses the button, I want to display a table with only 4 numbered rows and 2 colums with the names : 'Letter', 'Number of occurences'

And then I want to fill it with the output of this code : (occ_table)

I really appreciate your help

figures=figure();

%set(gcf,'CurrentAxes',figures.Children)

%button.Callback=@get_occurences;

button = uicontrol('Style','pushbutton','String','Count Letters','Position',[50 100 300 75]);

editbox=uicontrol('Style','edit','String','Enter your poem','Position',[50 200 300 200]);

%editbox.Callback=@ (src,evt)entertext

button.Callback=@(src,evt) get_occurences1(editbox.String);

%table_fig=uitable()

function[]=entertext()

prompt={'Enter poem'};

txt=inputdlg(prompt);

end

function get_occurences1(String)

vect_A = [];

i = 1;

for alphabet=['a':'z']

A = count(String,alphabet);

vect_A(i)=A; %stock the value

i=i+1;

end

occ_table = array2table(vect_A);

occ_table.Properties.VariableNames = {'a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j','k','l','m','n','o','p','q','r','s','t','u','v','w','x','y','z'}

%uitable('Data',occ_table{:,:},'ColumnName',{'Letter','Number of occurences'},'RowNames',occ_table.Properties.VariableNames,'Units','Normalized')

end

Hey,

I understand that you want to create a table and fill it with the output of the above code. For that first you need to create a table in the figure and fill it with empty cell array. Then in the callback function you can update the data in the table.

function myApp
    fig = figure();
    
    button = uicontrol('Style', 'pushbutton', 'String', 'Count Letters', 'Position', [50 240 300 50]);
    
    editbox = uicontrol('Style', 'edit', 'String', 'Enter your poem', 'Position', [50 300 300 100]);

    % Create a table with predefined columns
    columnNames = {'Letter', 'Number of Occurrences'};
    initialData = cell(4, 2); % Empty cell array for initial table data
    table_fig = uitable('Data', initialData, 'ColumnName', columnNames, 'Position', [50 70 300 150]);
    
    button.Callback = @(src, evt) get_occurrences1(editbox, table_fig);
end

function get_occurrences1(editbox, table_fig)
    String = editbox.String;
    vect_A = 1:26;
    i = 1;
    for alphabet = 'a':'z'
        A = count(String, alphabet);
        vect_A(i) = A;
        i = i + 1;
    end
    % Create a table with the counts
    occ_table = num2cell(vect_A');
    letters = cellstr(('a':'z')');
    occ_table = [letters, occ_table];
    
    table_fig.Data = occ_table; % Update the table data
end
