Hi,

I am trying to present formatted data in a listbox I created in a GUI
(using Matlab 6.5 rel. 13 and GUIED).
suppose I want to write the following:

AA 13 0.3
BBBB 123 0.15

What ever I do (calculate the size of the spaces and insert blanks at
the right places...) I get something of the sort:

AA 13 0.3
BBBB 123 0.15

It looks as if a blank occupies much less space then a letter.

Can you help please?
Thanks,
Utzli

You need to use a a fixed-width font, e.g. Courier or maybe better:

"properly written MATLAB application that needs to use a fixed-width
font should set FontName to FixedWidth and rely on the root
FixedWidthFontName property to be set correctly in the end user's
environment."

Thank you very much - it solved the problem :-)

I also found that the font 'fixedsys' works as well. Both fonts have
a problem of scaling to a desired size, but they provide the
alinement.

Thanks again,
