MATLAB: How to set the variable formats in a Report Generator table

MATLABreport generator table formats

Hi, I'm using the Report Generator and I need to output some tables, which contain the computation results.

However, the table in the report displaces very long digits, like '1.234345', which make the table a mess. I tried the solution in other threads:

 table1 = varfun(@(var) round(var, 3), table1);

But it left all the zeros: '1.234000'.

Is there anyway to get rid of the zeros, or just simply change the formats of the table variables(columns)?

In R2019b, the https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2019b/rptgen/ug/mlreportgen.report.matlabvariable-class.html has a NumericFormat property. Before this, you need to convert the numbers to strings yourself using compose() or sprintf()

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: Eliminate decimals past the thousandths place in a table

If those values are considered unique by the unique() function that eliminates the possibility that you're just using a long format such as

format long

but if those values are numeric, it suggests that they have some trailing non-zero decimal values, otherwise they wouldn't end in a string of 0s.

You could round all of your values to the thousandths place by using

round(x,3)
