How can i create such a table in Report Generator?

i would like to creat a table like this, as you can see, the left side is a big image, and the second and third column are full of texts, i thought RowSpan could fix this.

I created firstly a 1*3 table, then use RowSpan to span the second and third entry,and an error goes to

 'A table-cell is spanning more rows than available in its parent element.'

ok, i can understand this, but then i tried also other methods, they just didn't work... It would be great if i can get some tipps from you

Thanks

Or can i somehow directly insert a column on the right side? But Report Generator seems doesn't have this property...

Hello Tong,

You can create an empty DOM Table and then create DOM TableRows and DOM TableEntries. Append the TableEntries to the TableRows and then the TableRows to the Table. For the first TableEntry alone set the RowSpan value. The documentation link for TableRows and TableEntries can be found below:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/rptgen/ug/mlreportgen.dom.tablerow-class.html https://www.mathworks.com/help/rptgen/ug/mlreportgen.dom.tableentry-class.html

Also below is the sample code snippet to do create Table like the above one

import mlreportgen.dom.*

d = Document('sample', 'html-file');

i = Image(which('peppers.png'));
t = Table();
t.Border = 'Solid';
t.RowSep = 'Solid';
t.ColSep = 'Solid';

% Create First Table Row
tr = TableRow();
te = TableEntry();
% Setting the RowSpan for the first TableEntry to 3
te.RowSpan = 3;
append(te,i);
append(tr,te);

te = TableEntry();
append(te,'Text');
append(tr,te);

te = TableEntry();
append(te,'Text');
append(tr,te);
append(t,tr);

% Create Second Table Row
tr = TableRow();
te = TableEntry();
append(te,'Text');
append(tr,te);

te = TableEntry();
append(te,'Text');
append(tr,te);
append(t,tr);

% Create Third Table Row
tr = TableRow();
te = TableEntry();
append(te,'Text');
append(tr,te);

te = TableEntry();
append(te,'Text');
append(tr,te);

append(t,tr);

append(d,t);
close(d);
rptview(d);
