MATLAB Report Generator

Overview of Report Generation Methods

There are three ways you can generate a report, as described in these sections:

• Using the Command Line To Generate a Report
• Using the Setup File List To Generate a Report
• Using the Setup File Editor To Generate a Report

All three methods use setup files. A setup file specifies the following:

• Which components will be in the report
• Component attributes
• Component relationships

The Setup File Editor is the primary graphical user interface (GUI) for the Report Generator; you can view and modify setup files with it.

The Setup File List contains a list of setup files on your path and contains a brief, user-specified description of the setup file.

The report is generated for the current model or M-file, unless you specify otherwise (e.g., see the Model Loop component reference page).

To decide which report generation method to use, see the table below.

If you...	Use the...	Enter this command in MATLAB command window
Know the setup file you want to use and you don't need to edit it	Command line	report <SetupFileName>
Want to generate a report from an existing setup file (or edit the setup file) but are not sure of the name of the file or if it is on your path	Setup File List	rptlist
Want to create a new report, or edit an existing setup file (for example, if you want to customize a standard setup file or edit one of your own setup files)	Setup File Editor	setedit or setedit <SetupFileName>
