MATLAB Function Reference

cellplot

Graphically display the structure of cell arrays

Syntax

• cellplot(c)
  cellplot(c,'legend')
  handles = cellplot(...)
  

Description

cellplot(c) displays a figure window that graphically represents the contents of c. Filled rectangles represent elements of vectors and arrays, while scalars and short text strings are displayed as text.

cellplot(c,'legend') also puts a legend next to the plot.

handles = cellplot(c) displays a figure window and returns a vector of surface handles.

Limitations

The cellplot function can display only two-dimensional cell arrays.

Examples

Consider a 2-by-2 cell array containing a matrix, a vector, and two text strings:

• c{1,1} = '2-by-2';
  c{1,2} = 'eigenvalues of eye(2)';
  c{2,1} = eye(2);
  c{2,2} = eig(eye(2));
  

The command cellplot(c) produces:
