Hey,
I'll keep it short and sweet. I'm making a GUI, which loads a bunch of data from variable sources and writes it on the different buttons, sliders and text squares in the GUI. I want some of that data to be shown in a button as two rows. This is the data:
Handling1 = {'Treudd (14)'; 'Ob4T6 + 3 (Stick)'};
and the loader:
set(handles.Handling11,'String',Handling1)
Now, I'm quite new at Matlab, and I'm hoping there's another way of doing this, because this method only gives me the first row ('Treudd (14)') and not the second. I've tried making it a normal matrix (not a string matrix), but that didn't work either.
Is there another method to make a button show two rows?
Thanks in advance! Erik

MATLAB buttons don't support multiline (I might be wrong). Instead of buttons consider using text or edit objects, they also have one callback that is called when you click on them.

In Matlab GUI editor, double click on a push button, then properties will be opened, choose "String" row and click on in-middle button, then type these:
<html><center><b>
This is the first row
<br />
This is the second row
<br />
This is the first row
</b></center></html>
You can use HTML tags in Matlab GUI.
<center> tag lets you center the text in Matlab GUI
<b> tag lets you type in bold text in Matlab GUI
<br /> tag lets you spot the cursor to the next row down in Matlab GUI
<br> and <br /> can be used both with no errors as HTML tags. No need to close when you open <br> as <br/>, it works still without closing the tag; only for <br> tag, by the way.
