Changing the Outline String

The outlinestring.m method creates a string that is a one-line description of the component in the setup file outline in the left-hand side of the Setup File Editor.

outlinestring.m contains the following lines of code.

• function strout=outlinestring(c)
  % OUTLINESTRING display short component description
  % STR=OUTLINESTRING(C) Returns a terse description of the
  % component in the setup file editor report outline.  The
  % default outlinestring method returns the component's name.
  info=getinfo(c);
  

To change the outline string, add the following line of code in outlinestring.m.

• strout=[info.Name ' - ' c.att.Plot_Title];
  

This takes the first part of the outline string from out.Name in getinfo.m, adds a dash, and the second part from out.att.Plot_Title, which is My Random Plot. The string representing the new component in the setup file outline now has following appearance.

• Figure Random Plot - My Random Plot
