how to read a .mat file into table

I have a data: [5 x 3000 double] data.mat file tracking robot movements for 3000 iterations.
The variables are:
data = [
x
y
theta
u1
u2
]
I did
S = load('data.mat');
S
disp(S)
in a livescript but don't get a nice spreadsheet or table to view the data.
I am familiar with Pandas for Python.
How can I display this data so the rows are variables and columns are iterations 1 to 3000.

The struct2table function could be helpful.

This is sweet.
Thank you!
I intend that as a follow-on to the procedure in Load List of Variables into Structure Array.

Are you trying to transpose the data display? transpose(S.data) or use the apostrophe transpose operator, S.data'

S.data shown by @Stephen worked but I wish I could get row and column headings and have it appear full screen size, scrollable, etc.
I have worked quite a bit with Pandas and Matplotlib in Python but is there anything similar?
App Designer supports a table display. You can also find your workspace variable in the workspace variables list, right click it, and "view" or "display" it to see all its contents.
@Benjamin Thompson, transpose worked great for now as I get numbered rows for iterations of the simulation.
Still cannot figure out how to put column headings though.

As Star Strider wrote, you should take a look at STRUCT2TABLE
And also double click on the variable in the workspace to open the variable viewer.
I get it. Make a struct using slice syntax for the rows of the data.m, put the labels for the struct and then call the struct2table(). Thanks, I did that workspace way too.
