HGTable - functions for displaying tabular data in a MATLAB list control

Uses a standard MATLAB listbox to display multiple columns of data

MATLAB's Handle Graphics infrastructure does not provide a control which displays tabular data. In recent versions of MATLAB it is possible to use a Java table to do display such data, but even this can be tricky.
The solution provided here is to use a list control to display the data, putting one row of data on each line, separating columns with bar characters, and using a fixed-width font to ensure that columns are aligned properly. Separate callbacks can be used to receive events when the user selects a row in the list and when a row is double-clicked.

The main limitation of this approach is that only entire rows can be selected, not columns or individual "cells".
