Creation

Description

tableObj = mlreportgen.dom.Table(nCols) creates an empty table and sets the NCol property to nCols. Use this syntax as the starting point for creating a table.

example

tableObj = mlreportgen.dom.Table(array) creates a table whose content is specified by array. The constructor converts basic MATLAB® types to corresponding DOM types. For example, it changes character vectors to mlreportgen.dom.Text objects.

tableObj = mlreportgen.dom.Table(array,style) creates a table and sets the Style property to style. The style specified by style must be defined in the template used to create the document to which this table is appended.

Open Live Script

In this example, you create a table by using a Table object and specify its properties.

Import the DOM API package so that you do not have to use long, fully qualified names.

import mlreportgen.dom.*;

Create a Document object and open it.

d = Document("myreport","html");
open(d);

Create a table object and specify its content by using a 5-by-5 MATLAB array. The number array is converted to a table of DOM objects of the same dimension.

t = Table(magic(5));

Specify the row height.

t.Style = {RowHeight("1in")};

Specify the width and style of row and column separators.

t.Border = "solid";
t.BorderWidth = "1px";
t.ColSep = "solid";
t.ColSepWidth = "1";
t.RowSep = "solid";
t.RowSepWidth = "1";

Set the style for the table entries.

t.TableEntriesStyle = [t.TableEntriesStyle {FontFamily("Arial"),Width("1in"),Color("red"),Bold}];

Set the horizontal and vertical alignment for the text in the table.

t.TableEntriesHAlign = "center";
t.TableEntriesVAlign = "middle";

Add the table to the document.

append(d,t);

Close the document and view the report.

close(d);
rptview(d);
