Is it possible to define the properties for a class using cell array?

For example, I have a cell array AA={'x' 'y' 'z'} obtained by reading external files such as Excel table. How can I define the properties x, y, z for a class by referring to AA or a function with output AA. Is this possible?

instead of:

classdef T

properties

x

y

z

end

end

I want something like:

classdef T

properties

AA's elements

end

end

Thanks...

Seems it is not possible? Matlab may consider adding this function.

Ycan have your class inherit from DynamicProps and this will allow you to add properties dynamically.

C = {'x','y','z'};
D = exampleDynProp; %attached
for ii = 1:numel(C);addprop(D,C{ii});end
D
