Creation

Description

colSpecGroupObj = mlreportgen.dom.TableColSpecGroup creates a column style specification that spans an entire table.

Properties

Span — Number of adjacent table columns to which the column formatting applies

[] (default) | integer

Number of adjacent table columns to which the column formatting applies, specified as an integer. If the value of the Span property is empty ([]), the formatting applies to all of the columns in the table.

ColSpecs — Styles for column subgroups

[] (default) | array of mlreportgen.dom.TableColSpec objects

Styles for column subgroups, specified as an array of mlreportgen.dom.TableColSpec objects. The first mlreportgen.dom.TableColSpec object applies to the first subgroup of the group of columns specified by this TableColSpecGroup object. The second TableColSpec object applies to the next subgroup, and so on. For example, suppose that this TableColSpecGroup object applies to the first five columns of the table and that the first TableColSpec object in the ColSpecs property has a span of two. The first TableColSpec object applies to the first and second columns of the table.

The style specified by a TableColSpec object in the ColSpecs property overrides the style specified by the Style property of this TableColSpecGroup object.

Style — Format specification

{} (default) | array of DOM format objects

CustomAttributes — Custom attributes of document element

[] (default) | array of mlreportgen.dom.CustomAttribute objects

Custom attributes of this document element, specified as an array of mlreportgen.dom.CustomAttribute objects. The custom attributes must be supported by the output format of the document element to which this object is appended.

Tag — Tag for mlreportgen.dom.TableColSpecGroup object

character vector | string scalar

Tag for the mlreportgen.dom.TableColSpecGroup object, specified as a character vector or string scalar. The DOM API generates a session-unique tag as part of the creation of this object. The generated tag has the form CLASS:ID, where CLASS is the object class and ID is the value of the Id property of the object. Specify your own tag value to help you identify where to look when an issue occurs during document generation.

Attributes:

true

Data Types: char | string

Id — Object identifier for mlreportgen.dom.TableColSpecGroup object

character vector | string scalar

Object identifier for the mlreportgen.dom.TableColSpecGroup object, specified as a character vector or string scalar. The DOM API generates a session-unique identifier when it creates the document element object. You can specify your own value for Id.

Examples

Specify Color of Columns in a Table

Make the first column of a table green and the remaining columns red. Use a TableColSpecGroup object to specify the color of all of the table columns and use a TableColSpec object to override the color for the first column.

import mlreportgen.dom.*
d = Document('mydoc','docx');
append(d,'Table');
     
grps(1) = TableColSpecGroup;
grps(1).Style = {Color('red')};
grps(1).Span = 5;
specs(1) = TableColSpec;
specs(1).Style = {Color('green')};
grps(1).ColSpecs = specs;
table = Table(magic(5));
table.ColSpecGroups = grps;

append(d,table);

close(d);
rptview(d);
