Convert LaTeX tables to MATLAB matrix and cell array format. Perfect for importing research data, experimental results, or any tabular data into MATLAB for analysis and visualization.

Key Features

Dual Output Formats: Cell arrays for mixed data or matrices for numeric data
Header Support: Option to include first row as column names
Automatic Parsing: Extracts data from LaTeX tabular environments
Special Character Handling: Properly unescapes LaTeX special characters
File Upload: Upload .tex files directly
Instant Preview: Real-time conversion as you type

How to Use

Input LaTeX Table: Paste your LaTeX table or upload a .tex file
Choose Format: Select Cell Array (for mixed data) or Matrix (for numeric only)
Configure Options: Choose whether to include header row
Review Output: The MATLAB code updates automatically
Copy to MATLAB: Use the Copy button and paste into MATLAB

Output Formats

Cell Array: Supports mixed data types (strings, numbers, etc.)
Matrix: Numeric data only, non-numeric values become NaN

Example Conversion

LaTeX Input:

\begin{tabular}{llll}
\toprule
Name & Age & City & Department \\
\midrule
John Doe & 28 & New York & Engineering \\
Jane Smith & 34 & London & Marketing \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}

MATLAB Output (Cell Array):

% Cell array with data
data = {
  'Name', 'Age', 'City', 'Department'
  'John Doe', '28', 'New York', 'Engineering'
  'Jane Smith', '34', 'London', 'Marketing'
};

MATLAB Output (Matrix - numeric only):

% Matrix data (numeric values only)
data = [
  28, NaN, NaN
  34, NaN, NaN
];

Common Use Cases

Research Data: Import experimental results from LaTeX papers
Data Analysis: Convert tables for statistical analysis in MATLAB
Visualization: Prepare data for plotting and graphing
Signal Processing: Import signal data for processing
Machine Learning: Prepare datasets for ML algorithms

MATLAB Compatibility

The generated code works with:

MATLAB R2006a and later
GNU Octave (open-source alternative)
MATLAB Online

Tips for Best Results

Use Cell Array format for mixed text and numeric data
Use Matrix format when all data is numeric for better performance
Include header row to maintain column names in your data
For numeric matrices, ensure data is properly formatted as numbers
Test the output in MATLAB to verify correct import

Privacy & Security

All conversions happen locally in your browser. Your LaTeX data is never uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security.
