How would one print on the command window a 3x1 vector labeled "R" such that the output line matches the format as shown below? Currently I am using a bunch of fprintf functions and manually spacing out the outputs to make it look right, but I want to know if there's a more compact method of outputting and formatting text into command line.

R = [6640.441; 0; 0];
C = compose('%7s[%10.3f km]',["";"R = ";""],R);
fprintf('%s\n','A) Position with respect to the earth in PQW coordinates:',C{:})
A) Position with respect to the earth in PQW coordinates: [ 6640.441 km] R = [ 0.000 km] [ 0.000 km]

R = [6640.441; 0; 0];
C = compose(' [ %8.3f km]',R);
C{2}([1 3]) = 'R=';
fprintf('%s\n',C{:});
[ 6640.441 km] R = [ 0.000 km] [ 0.000 km]
