profreport

Generate profile report

Syntax

• profreport
  profreport(basename)
  profreport(stats)
  profreport(basename,stats)
  

Description

profreport suspends the profile function, generates a profile report in HTML format using the current profile results, and displays the report in a Web browser. This presents the information in a different format from the Profiler reports.

profreport(basename) suspends profile, generates a profile report in HTML format using the current profile results, saves the report using the basename you supply, and displays the report in a Web browser. Because the report consists of several files, do not provide an extension for basename.

profreport(stats) suspends profile, generates a profile report in HTML format using the info results from profile, and displays the report in a Web browser. Here, stats is the profile information structure returned by stats = profile('info').

profreport(basename,stats) suspends profile, generates a profile report in HTML format using the stats result from profile, saves the report using the basename you supply, and displays the report in a Web browser. Here, stats is the profile information structure returned by stats = profile('info'). Because the report consists of several files, do not provide an extension for basename.

Examples

Run profile and view the structure containing profile results.

1. Run profile for code that computes the Lotka-Volterra predator-prey population model.

• profile on -detail builtin -history
  [t,y] = ode23('lotka',[0 2],[20;20]);
  

2. View the structure containing the profile results.

• stats = profile('info')
  

1. MATLAB returns

   • stats = 
     FunctionTable: [42x1 struct]
         FunctionHistory: [2x830 double]
          ClockPrecision: 0.0100
                    Name: 'MATLAB'
     

3. View the contents of the second element in the FunctionTable structure.

• stats.FunctionTable(2)
  

1. MATLAB returns

   • ans = 
               FunctionName: 'horzcat'
                   FileName: ''
                       Type: 'Builtin-function'
                   NumCalls: 43
                  TotalTime: 0
         TotalRecursiveTime: 0
                   Children: [0x1 struct]
                    Parents: [2x1 struct]
              ExecutedLines: [0x3 double]
     

4. Display the profile report from the structure.

• profreport(stats)
  

1. MATLAB displays the profile report in a Web browser.
