mlreportgen.dom.Table Class

Namespace: mlreportgen.dom

Informal table

Description

Use an object of the mlreportgen.dom.Table class to define an informal table, which is a table that does not have separate header or footer sections.

To see what DOM objects you can append an mlreportgen.dom.Table object to, see Append mlreportgen.dom.Table object to DOM class object.

The mlreportgen.dom.Table class is a handle class.

Creation

Description

tableObj = mlreportgen.dom.Table(nCols) creates an empty informal table.

tableObj = mlreportgen.dom.Table(array) creates an informal table with content 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) also sets the format of the informal table to style. The specified style must be defined in the template used to create the document to which this table is appended.

Note

Microsoft^® Word automatically combines consecutive tables with matching style names into a single table. To render consecutive tables as separate tables in DOCX reports, use one of these options:

• Set the style names of the consecutive tables to different values. The style name must be defined in the document template. To modify styles in the template, see Modify Styles in Microsoft Word Templates.

• Insert content in between the tables. For example, insert an empty mlreportgen.dom.Paragraph element between the tables.

Input Arguments

• A two-dimensional numeric array

• A two-dimensional categorical array

• A two-dimensional string array

• A two-dimensional cell array that contains arrays, data types, or objects of these type:

  • Character vector

  • String scalar

  • One-dimensional or two-dimensional cell array

  • Items of data type double

  • mlreportgen.dom.CharEntity object

  • mlreportgen.dom.ExternalLink object

Properties

BackgroundColor — Background color

[] (default) | character vector | string scalar

Background color, specified as a character vector or string scalar that contains a CSS color name, hexadecimal RGB value, or decimal RGB value.

Format	Value
CSS color name	Specify a CSS color name. For a list of CSS color names, see https://www.w3.org/wiki/CSS/Properties/color/keywords.
Hexadecimal RGB value	Use the format "#RRGGBB". Use # as the first character and two-digit hexadecimal numbers for the red, green, and blue values. You can use uppercase or lowercase letters.
Decimal RGB color value	Use the format "rgb(r,g,b)", where r, g, and b are comma-separated positive integers that specify the red, green, and blue values, respectively. Each value range must be between 0 and 255.

Setting the BackgroundColor property adds a mlreportgen.dom.BackgroundColor format object to the Style property. Setting the BackgroundColor property to an empty value removes the object.

Example: "red" specifies a red color using a CSS color name.

Example: "#0000ff" specifies a blue color using a hexadecimal RGB value.

Example: "rgb(128,0,128)" specifies a purple color using a decimal RGB color value.

clone	copiedObj = clone(soureceObj) returns a copy of the mlreportgen.dom.Table object specified by soureceObj. The copy includes the children of the source object, but not the parent. Note Do not append the same object to a document more than once. Use clone to create a copy when you want to reuse the same content elsewhere in a document.

Examples

Create a Table

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

Import the DOM API namespace 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 table object converts the array 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 the 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);

Tips

• When you include large content in a table entry, the table may not fit on a report page. If a table cannot fit on a DOCX report page, Microsoft Word cannot open the report. To ensure that your table fits in a DOCX report, set the width and height of table entries with large content. To set the width, use the mlreportgen.dom.Width class. To set the height, use the mlreportgen.dom.Height class. To avoid deleting existing formats, concatenate the new table entry style with the existing style:

  te = TableEntry(domObj);
  te.Style = [te.Style, {Width("1in"), Height("1in")}];
  append(row,te);

  To apply the format to all table entries in a table, use the TableEntriesStyle property of the table object.
