How to reduce the space among columns in command window?

Hi all,

I'd like to display a 31 by 31 matrix in command window, MATLAB leaves a lot of space among columns like this:

290         130           4         -80        -164         172         256          46         -38        -122

I'd like to reduce the space among these scalars, for instance, like this:

290  130  4  -80  -164  172  256  46  -38  -122

So I can directly see the pattern of the matrix by displaying it within one screen. How can I do this?

Many thanks!

Unfortunately there is no format setting for that.

For row vectors, I sometimes use mat2str() to get a more compact version.

Hi Walter,

There is no official way to do it but I found this:

which works as a function.
