textwrap
Return wrapped string matrix for given UI controloutstring = textwrap(h,instring) [outstring,position] = textwrap(h,instring)
outstring = textwrap(h,instring)
returns a wrapped string cell array, outstring, that fits inside the Uicontrol with handle h. instring is a cell array, with each cell containing a single line of text. outstring is the wrapped string matrix in cell array format. Each cell of the input string is considered a paragraph.
[outstring,position]=textwrap(h,instring)
returns the recommended position of the Uicontrol in the units of the Uicontrol. position considers the extent of the multi-line text in the x and y directions.
Place a textwrapped string in a Uicontrol:
pos = [10 10 100 10]
h = uicontrol('Style','Text','Position',pos);
string = {'This is a string for the uicontrol.',
'It should be correctly wrapped inside.'};
[outstring,newpos] = textwrap(h,string);
pos(4) = newpos(4)
set(h,'String',outstring,'Position',[pos(1) pos(2) pos(3)+10
pos(4)])
