MATLAB: How to start Header from a later page

headerMATLABMATLAB Report Generatormlreportgen.dompdfpageheaderreport generator

Using mlreportgen.dom.PDFPageHeader to generate the header, works fine.

However, the first two pages are different and don't need the header.

How to start Header from page 3 or a later page?

Thanks.

Hi John,

For a PDF Page layout, you can define upto 3 types of page headers: one for first page, one for even pages, and one for odd pages. See https://www.mathworks.com/help/rptgen/ug/mlreportgen.dom.pdfpagelayout-class.html#bu6wf3m-1-PageHeaders

PDFPageHeader class has a PageType property which defines the type of pages that header appears on.

Thanks,

Rahul

To generate a report from a DOM-based document object:

Derive your report class from mlreportgen.dom.Document class, for example

% MyReport.m
class MyReport < mlreportgen.dom.Document
    method
       function rpt = MyReport(name)
          rpt@mlreportgen.dom.Document(name, 'docx', 'MyTemplate');
       end
    end
end

Provide a public fill<HOLEID> method for each hole in your report template, where HOLEID is the name of the hole, for example,

    class MyReport < mlreportgen.dom.Document
        method
           function rpt = MyReport(name)
              rpt@mlreportgen.dom.Document(name, 'docx', 'MyTemplate');
           end
           % This method is called by mlreportgen.dom.Document's fill method.
           % Do not call it yourself.
           function fillReportDate(rpt)
               append(rpt, date);
           end
        end
    end

Create a report program (i.e., script or function) to run the report.
In the report program, create an instance of your report class and call its fill method (inherited from mlreportgen.dom.Document class), for example,

% runMyReport.m
rpt = MyReport('myreport');
fill(rpt);
rptview(rpt.OutputPath);

MATLAB: How to add custom text to a footer in a generated report

To add custom text to a footer in your report, you can work with the 'DOCXPageFooter' class:

Documentation Page:

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

Example of making a footer:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/rptgen/ug/mlreportgen.dom.docxpagefooter-class.html#bu7mkg7-2

When creating a page footer, you can first specify which pages you would like it to appear on (first page only, even pages, odd pages, or all pages). Then, you can append different DOM objects to the footer, such as a page number or a paragraph.

The following code is an adaptation of the example linked above. This code demonstrates how to add a paragraph with custom text to a footer which already includes the page number:

import mlreportgen.dom.*;
d = Document('mydoc','docx');
open(d);
% Create page footer object
myfooter = DOCXPageFooter();
d.CurrentPageLayout.PageFooters = [myfooter];
% Add page number to footer
pageNum = Page();
append(d.CurrentPageLayout.PageFooters(1), pageNum);
% Add custom text to footer
txt = Paragraph('My custom text');
txt.HAlign = 'center';
append(d.CurrentPageLayout.PageFooters(1),txt);
% Create several pages.
p = Paragraph('Title page');
append(d,p);
p = Paragraph('Another page');
p.Style = {PageBreakBefore(true)};
append(d,p);
append(d,clone(p));
append(d,clone(p));
close(d);
rptview(d.OutputPath);
