MATLAB: Make first column of table bold

formaltableMATLABMATLAB Report Generatorreportreport generatortable

I have a table created with the class

 FormalTable

and I want to make the text in the first column bold but I can't find the property. In the documentation there is no property about it.

Can anyone give me a way to do what I want?

I am trying with

grps(1) = TableColSpecGroup;
specs(1) = TableColSpec;
specs(1).Style = {fontweight('Bold')}; % this creates an error
grps(1).ColSpecs = specs;
tableFAIL.ColSpecGroups = grps;

But this doesn't work because I still can't find the property for putting the text Bold

Thank you in advance!

Hi Jack,

You can use the ColSpecGroups property of the FormalTable to format one or more columns in the table. Use the Bold format to make the content bold.

Example,

import mlreportgen.dom.*
d = Document('mydoc','docx');
% Define column specs to format one or more table columns
grps(1) = TableColSpecGroup;
specs(1) = TableColSpec;
specs(1).Style = {Bold()};
grps(1).ColSpecs = specs;
% Create the table and assign the column specs
table = FormalTable(magic(5));
table.ColSpecGroups = grps;
append(d,table);
% Close and view the report
close(d);
rptview(d);

Thanks,

Rahul

MATLAB: Make first row of Formal Table bold

Hi Jack,

I think you want the header row of the FormalTable to be bold.

Below example demostrates how to style the header first row as well as the first row of the table body.

import mlreportgen.dom.*
% Create a document
d = Document('output', 'pdf');
open(d);
% Create a FormalTable with one header row and two body rows
t = FormalTable({'Col1', 'Col2'}, {'entry11', 'entry12'; 'entry21', 'entry22'});
t.Border = 'solid';
t.RowSep = 'solid';
t.ColSep = 'solid';
t.Width = '4in';
% Specify styles for the header first row
headerRow = t.Header.Children(1);
headerRow.Style = [headerRow.Style {Bold()}];
% Specify styles for the first row of table body
bodyFirstRow = t.Body.Children(1);
bodyFirstRow.Style = [bodyFirstRow.Style {Color('red')}];
% Append table to the document
append(d,t);
% Close and view report
close(d);
rptview(d);

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

Rahul

MATLAB: Report Generator: How to change horizontal text alignment for individual columns of the same table

The Style property of TableCopSpec can be used to apply any format to one or more adjacent table columns. The below script will make the text to be left aligned in the first column, centered in the second column, and right aligned in the third column.

import mlreportgen.dom.*
rpt = Document('MyReport','pdf');
table = FormalTable(magic(3));
table.Width = '3in';
table.Border = 'solid';
table.ColSep = 'solid';
table.RowSep = 'solid';
groups(1) = TableColSpecGroup();
specs(1) = TableColSpec();
specs(1).Style = { HAlign('left') };
specs(2) = TableColSpec();
specs(2).Style = { HAlign('center') };
specs(3) = TableColSpec();
specs(3).Style = { HAlign('right') };
groups(1).ColSpecs = specs;
table.ColSpecGroups = groups;
append(rpt, table);
close(rpt);
rptview(rpt.OutputPath);
