vertical alignment of text in uicontrol

[Naor Movshovitz]

Is there really no vertical alignment option for GUI text objects 'text' and 'edit'? Is there a workaround?

Thanks,

text() offers 'HorizontalAlignment' and 'VerticalAlignment' parameters.

There is no such thing in Matlab as a "GUI text objects 'edit'"

uicontrol objects of Style 'text' or 'edit' offer a 'HorizontalAlignment'
option but no vertical alignment option.

Yes, if you are willing to go in at the Java level and reprogram how that
uicontrol works.

Perhaps the FEX contribution for scrollable editable tables would be of interest,

In R2012b vertical alignment for uicontrol is still not supported, but here is a workaround:
My purpose of vertical alignment : I am using a resizable figure with some text and labels within to show some numbers. If I use text (as label) and edit (to show number), their vertical alignment doesn't match (text is top, edit is center).
Solution:
I use edit for both. To prevent the first one (which is just description) from being changed by user, set its 'Enable' property to 'inactive'. Background color does not change.
Vertical alignment for text is 'center' which is nice.

Your method works well for me, thanks for your sharing.
