Matlab report generator help

Is there a way to check a box in a matlab app and have the same checked box in a word doc once you generate a report?

Hello Carlos,

I assume that by "have the same checked box in a word doc" you are seeking to replicate the appearance of a “checked” checkbox from your app within a Word document. This can indeed be accomplished by utilizing an “If” statement to determine whether the checkbox in your app is checked, and then appending an image of a “checked” checkbox to your report.

Here is a code snippet that illustrates this process:

import mlreportgen.report.* 
import mlreportgen.dom.* 

rpt = Report('Report', 'docx'); 

if app.CheckBox.Value 
     checkedBox = Image('checked.png'); 
     checkedBox.Width = '0.5in'; 
     checkedBox.Height = '0.5in'; 
     append(rpt, checkedBox); 
end 

In this snippet, “checked.png” would be the image file that visually represents a “checked” checkbox.

Hope it helps!
