MATLAB Report Generator

Editing a New Component

When you create a component, the Report Generator creates an @<compfilename> directory; in this case the created directory is @crp_randplot.

The M-files in this directory are methods; they are intended to be used by this object only. The following are M-files in @crp_randplot.

M-File	What It Does
crp_randplot.m	This M-file is the constructor; it creates the object. You can change the help in this file.
attribute.m	This M-file displays the attribute page.
outlinestring.m	This M-file returns the string that represents the component in the setup file outline when a component is added to it.
subsasgn.m	This M-file accesses fields of object outside its method. Do not edit this file.
subsref.m	This M-file accesses fields of object outside its method. Do not edit this file.
getinfo.m	This M-file is used to store information about components - it tells the Report Generator how to create a component. You can edit this file to create a new attribute.
execute.m	This M-file is the method that is called during generation time. It inserts into the report the information that is created by the component when the report is generated.

Method, object, and constructor are object-oriented programming concepts that are discussed in the MATLAB documentation.
