Compactly display a matrix

If we wish to display a matrix using the command 'disp' in a compact manner, I know we can use "format compact" to minimize vertical space wastage in the command window.

Similarly, if we wish to reduce the horizontal space between the columns of a matrix while displaying it using 'disp', is there a simple way already available in Matlab?

I know we can use the printf commands along with carefully constructed formatting strings, but if I just need to reduce the horizontal space between the columns, is there a simple way?

Thanks!

For this kind of thing I wrote my own custom display function, which uses the FPRINTF command for the formatting. I don't know of any other way to reduce horizontal spacing.

Thanks Matt. I also found a function "displaytable" in the Matlab file exchange, which does a pretty good job. I am currently using this, but I just wanted to know if there is any other way available using only the regular Matlab functions.
