Work with Components

Insert and edit components in setup file to define report structure and content

Components are MATLAB® objects that specify the content of a report. Add components to a setup file to specify the types of content and the structure for a report. For details, see Components.

Examples and How To

Concepts

  • Components

    Explains what components are and how to use them.

  • Report Structure Components

    Use report structure components to organize the content of your report into chapters, sections, paragraphs, lists, tables, and other standard document structure elements.

  • Table Formatting Components

    Use table formatting components to organize generated content into tables.

  • Property Table Components

    Use Property Table components to display property name/property value pairs in tables in generated reports.

  • Summary Table Components

    Use Summary Table components to display information about specified objects in tables in generated reports.

  • Logical and Looping Components

    Example of how to use the Figure Loop component to loop on Handle Graphics® figures

  • Set Component Properties

    Most components have properties that you can set to select optional features.
