Mata matrices do not carry formats. There are two solutions to dipslay a
matrix in formatted form.
First, you can write in Mata your own display loop:
for (i=1; i<=rows(X); i++) {
for (j=1; j<=cols(X); j++) {
printf("%9.2f ", X[i,j])
}
printf("\n")
}
Or, you can transfer the matrix to Stata and let Stata print it:
st_matrix("tmpX", X)
stata("matlist tmpX, ...")
st_matrix("tmpX, J(0,0,.))
The last line deletes the the matrix tmpX.
