MATLAB Report Generator

Introduction

Component attributes (parameters) determine what information a component inserts in the report and how the component will execute.

This chapter discusses changing attributes for two important components: the Handle Graphics Figure "For" Loop component and the Handle Graphics Figure Property Table component. These components are used as examples because they represent two large classes of components: looping components and property table components.

Attributes of individual components are discussed in detail in Components -- By Category

Displaying and Editing Component Attributes

When you select a component in the setup file outline, the Options tab displays component attributes. You can edit the attributes that are displayed.

You can edit only one component's attributes at a time. If you select multiple components, the Options tab displays the attributes of the first component in the list, but this attribute page will be inactive and appear gray.

Undoing an Attribute Edit

If you want to undo an edit action to a component attribute, select Undo from the Edit menu. There are five levels of "undo" (i.e., you can undo as many as your last five actions).

If you cannot undo a particular action, the Undo option appears grayed out or inactive.
