Style Properties
Style for table UI component
Use Style objects to create color, font, and alignment styles
for cells in table UI components. The table UI component must be one that is parented to a
figure created with the uifigure function, or to one of its child
containers. You can create a Style object using the
uistyle function, specify its properties, and then apply it to the
table using the addStyle function. You can remove styles from a table
using the removeStyle function.
Style objects that you add to the
table UI component take visual precedence over properties you set on the
Table object, no matter the order in which you created them. For
example, in this code the blue font color displays in the table even though red foreground
color was set on the Table object last.
uit = uitable(uifigure,'Data',rand(100,10)); s = uistyle; s.FontColor = 'blue'; addStyle(uit,s); uit.ForegroundColor = 'red';
Color
BackgroundColor — Background color
[] (default) | RGB triplet | hexadecimal color code | 'r' | 'g' | 'b' | ...
Background color, specified as an RGB triplet, a hexadecimal color code, or one of the color options listed in the table.
RGB triplets and hexadecimal color codes are useful for specifying custom colors.
An RGB triplet is a three-element row vector whose elements specify the intensities of the red, green, and blue components of the color. The intensities must be in the range
[0,1], for example,[0.4 0.6 0.7].A hexadecimal color code is a character vector or a string scalar that starts with a hash symbol (
#) followed by three or six hexadecimal digits, which can range from0toF. The values are not case sensitive. Therefore, the color codes'#FF8800','#ff8800','#F80', and'#f80'are equivalent.
Alternatively, you can specify some common colors by name. This table lists the named color options, the equivalent RGB triplets, and hexadecimal color codes.
| Color Name | Short Name | RGB Triplet | Hexadecimal Color Code | Appearance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
'red' | 'r' | [1 0 0] | '#FF0000' |
|
'green' | 'g' | [0 1 0] | '#00FF00' |
|
'blue' | 'b' | [0 0 1] | '#0000FF' |
|
'cyan'
| 'c' | [0 1 1] | '#00FFFF' |
|
'magenta' | 'm' | [1 0 1] | '#FF00FF' |
|
'yellow' | 'y' | [1 1 0] | '#FFFF00' |
|
'black' | 'k' | [0 0 0] | '#000000' |
|
'white' | 'w' | [1 1 1] | '#FFFFFF' |
|
Here are the RGB triplets and hexadecimal color codes for the default colors MATLAB® uses in many types of plots.
| RGB Triplet | Hexadecimal Color Code | Appearance |
|---|---|---|
[0 0.4470 0.7410] | '#0072BD' |

FontColor — Font color
[] (default) | RGB triplet | hexadecimal color code | 'r' | 'g' | 'b' | ...
Font color, specified as an RGB triplet, a hexadecimal color code, or one of the options listed in the table.
RGB triplets and hexadecimal color codes are useful for specifying custom colors.
An RGB triplet is a three-element row vector whose elements specify the intensities of the red, green, and blue components of the color. The intensities must be in the range
[0,1]; for example,[0.4 0.6 0.7].A hexadecimal color code is a character vector or a string scalar that starts with a hash symbol (
#) followed by three or six hexadecimal digits, which can range from0toF. The values are not case sensitive. Thus, the color codes'#FF8800','#ff8800','#F80', and'#f80'are equivalent.
Alternatively, you can specify some common colors by name. This table lists the named color options, the equivalent RGB triplets, and hexadecimal color codes.
| Color Name | Short Name | RGB Triplet | Hexadecimal Color Code | Appearance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
'red' | 'r' | [1 0 0] | '#FF0000' |
|
'green' | 'g' | [0 1 0] | '#00FF00' |

'blue' | 'b' | [0 0 1] | '#0000FF' |

Font and Alignment
FontName — Font name
'' (default) | system-supported font name
Font name, specified as a system-supported font name. The default font depends on the specific operating system and locale.
If the specified font is not available, then MATLAB uses the best match among the fonts available on the system where the app is running.
FontWeight — Font weight
'' (default) | 'normal' | 'bold'
Font weight, specified as one of these values:
'normal'— Default weight as defined by the particular font'bold'— Thicker character outlines than'normal'
Not all fonts have a bold font weight. For fonts that do not, specifying
'bold' results in the normal font weight.
FontAngle — Font angle
'' (default) | 'normal' | 'italic'
Font angle, specified as 'normal' or 'italic'.
Not all fonts have an italic font angle. For fonts that do not, specifying
'italic' results in the normal font angle.
HorizontalAlignment — Horizontal alignment of cell text
'' (default) | 'left' | 'right' | 'center'
Horizontal alignment of cell text, specified as one of the values in the table.
| Value | Example |
|---|---|
'left' |
|
'right' |
|
'center' |
|
If you add a Style object to the table UI component that
specifies horizontal alignment, it takes precedence over the justifications associated
with cell format values that you specify for the ColumnFormat
property on the Table object. The ColumnFormat
property still converts values as it normally would.
