Hi Tong,

The default layout of the page defines the size for the page margins (top, bottom, left, right) to be "1in" each and also the size for headers and footers to be "0.5in" each. This comes out to be the blank area in your report. You can manipulate these sizes to get the desired output. These can be accessed as:

s = d.CurrentPageLayout;
% To change top-margin to "0in"
s.PageMargins.Top = "0in";

MATLAB: How to switch between landscape and portrait page orientation when creating a Word report using MATLAB Report Generator R2019a

Each time you want to change the page layout in the document, you need to create a new DOCXPageLayout object, set the orientation, and append it to the document object. If you are switching between portrait and landscape pages multiple times in the document, one strategy is to create two page layout objects, one portrait and one landscape, and append clones of the objects to the document whenever you need to switch the orientation. For example:

import mlreportgen.dom.*
d = Document('exampleDoc', 'docx');
open(d);
% default page layout is portrait
portraitPLO = DOCXPageLayout;
portraitPageSize = portraitPLO.PageSize;
% define landscape layout
landscapePLO = DOCXPageLayout;
landscapePLO.PageSize.Orientation = "landscape";
landscapePLO.PageSize.Height = portraitPageSize.Width;
landscapePLO.PageSize.Width = portraitPageSize.Height;
table = append(d,magic(15));
table.Border = 'solid';
table.ColSep = 'solid';
table.RowSep = 'solid';
%switch to landscape
append(d, clone(landscapePLO));
table = append(d,magic(11));
table.Border = 'solid';
table.ColSep = 'solid';
table.RowSep = 'solid';
%switch to portrait
append(d, clone(portraitPLO));
table = append(d,magic(5));
table.Border = 'solid';
table.ColSep = 'solid';
table.RowSep = 'solid';
%switch to landscape again
append(d, clone(landscapePLO));
table = append(d,magic(8));
table.Border = 'solid';
table.ColSep = 'solid';
table.RowSep = 'solid';
close(d);
rptview(d);

MATLAB: How can i create such a table in Report Generator

Hello Tong,

You can create an empty DOM Table and then create DOM TableRows and DOM TableEntries. Append the TableEntries to the TableRows and then the TableRows to the Table. For the first TableEntry alone set the RowSpan value. The documentation link for TableRows and TableEntries can be found below:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/rptgen/ug/mlreportgen.dom.tablerow-class.html https://www.mathworks.com/help/rptgen/ug/mlreportgen.dom.tableentry-class.html

Also below is the sample code snippet to do create Table like the above one

import mlreportgen.dom.*
d = Document('sample', 'html-file');
i = Image(which('peppers.png'));
t = Table();
t.Border = 'Solid';
t.RowSep = 'Solid';
t.ColSep = 'Solid';
% Create First Table Row
tr = TableRow();
te = TableEntry();
% Setting the RowSpan for the first TableEntry to 3
te.RowSpan = 3;
append(te,i);
append(tr,te);
te = TableEntry();
append(te,'Text');
append(tr,te);
te = TableEntry();
append(te,'Text');
append(tr,te);
append(t,tr);
% Create Second Table Row
tr = TableRow();
te = TableEntry();
append(te,'Text');
append(tr,te);
te = TableEntry();
append(te,'Text');
append(tr,te);
append(t,tr);
% Create Third Table Row
tr = TableRow();
te = TableEntry();
append(te,'Text');
append(tr,te);
te = TableEntry();
append(te,'Text');
append(tr,te);
append(t,tr);
append(d,t);
close(d);
rptview(d);
