Unable to import Document Object Model (DOM) API from MATLAB Report Generator

I am trying to write a script that imports the DOM API from the Matlab Report Generator in order to output data/plots to a Word Document:

import mlreportgen.dom.*;

filename = 'C:\files\test_report';
filetype = 'docx';

report = Document(filename,filetype);
close(report);

This code produces the following error:

Undefined function 'Document' for input arguments of type 'char'.

Error in rpt (line 6)
report = Document(filename,filetype);

I've also tried passing the string equivalents ('C:\files...,'docx') to 'Document' instead of variables and I get the same result.

What could the issue be here? Thanks!

Are you on MATLAB >=R2014b with Report Generator installed and licensed?

ver
license test matlab_report_gen

I have the same problem.

import mlreportgen.dom.*;

myReport = Document('myDoc','html');

Undefined function 'Document' for input arguments of type 'char'.

Also I tested for licensed.

license test matlab_report_gen

I'm using MATLAB2013a

What is the wrong here?

Ishanka, the DOM API was released in R2014b so you'll need to upgrade to that release or newer.
