How to name each row and column of a Matrix

I had constructed a Matrix for which I wish to assign a row name and column name. Is there any way to achieve this in an easy way?. This I will further use to plot the Color map (pcolor) indicating the names. Thanks.

The only way I can think of to do this is to use a table (link). See the links at the end of that page for more information on using the,.

Hi Thanks. But pcolor() does not accept the table. It should be a Matrix.

My pleasure.

These seem to be two separate problems. Use your matrix for both.

Create your table and use it to do whatever calculations you want to with it.

Create your pcolor (or image) object separately. It is easy enough to label the row and column tick labels with whatever you want, and you can use the same cell arrays of names or titles for both (providing that they are valid MATLAB variable names, since table requires that).

I would use image rather than pcolor.
