Report Generator

Using the New Component

After editing the execute.m method, you are ready to use your component in a report. Add the component to a setup file and click on the Report button. If there is an error during generation, the Report Generator will skip over the component.

Create a setup file that looks like this.

[-] Report - rplot-test.rpt
   [-] Paragraph - <Text from subcomponents>
      [ ] Text - Random Plotted Figure has handle=
      [ ] Figure Random Plot

Your report will look like this (it will contain the following line).

Random Plotted Figure has handle=1

Note that the handle number may be different depending on how many figure windows you had open at the time of generation.

You now have a functioning component. The next section discusses how to add new attributes to the component and change the execute.m method so that it inserts a snapshot of the random plot figure into the report.
