count number of rows in uitable

Question

I'm having trouble counting the number of rows in my uitable.

data={'for' '32' '1'
      '123' 'tired' '3g'
      '0' 'door' 'roof'};
w=uitable('data',data,'position',[100 100 100 100])

I have tried the command height, but i get an error saying

Undefined function 'height' for input arguments of type 'double'.

Error in boundary_conditions (line 9)
height(w)

Answer 1

The first part initialize the uitable and display it:

data={'for' '32' '1'                               
'123' 'tired' '3g'                                 
'0' 'door' 'roof'};                                
w=uitable('data',data,'position',[100 100 100 100])

now in order to get/set object properties one may follow this howto. Here is an example of getting for your needs:

prop = {'data','position'};                                                       
attributes = get(w,prop);
>> attributes

attributes = 

    {3x3 cell}    [1x4 double]

>> attributes{1}

ans = 

    'for'    '32'       '1'   
    '123'    'tired'    '3g'  
    '0'      'door'     'roof'

>> size(attributes{1},1)

ans =

     3
