Re: How to customize the output format of function 'dataset'?

Daniel, I'm sorry, I misunderstood. It's line 85 of @dataset/disp that is where you want to go, I think. You could modify this line to

varChars = num2str(var,'%0.7g'); % or whatever

to get exactly the format you want. However, since this is in a class directory, you'll have to modify it in place, which requires appropriate privileges for your MATLAB install directory. It's possible to create a local _function_ (as opposed to method) called something like displayDataset, but you'd have to do some extra work as well. I can suggest how to do that if need be. I will make a note to look into enhancing the display method for the dataset in the future.

Just out of curiosity, would it be sufficient for your needs if the display respected the current setting of the FORMAT command (e.g., "format long g")?
