Package: mlreportgen.dom
Superclasses:

Object width

Description

Specifies the width of an object, such as an image or a table entry.

Construction

widthObj = Width() creates a format object that specifies a width of 1 inch.

widthObj = Width(value) creates a width object having the specified width.

Input Arguments

value — Width of object

character vector

Width of object, such as an image or a table entry, specified in the form valueUnits, where Units is an abbreviation for the units. These abbreviations are valid:

• px — pixels (default)

• cm — centimeters

• in — inches

• mm — millimeters

• pc — picas

• pt — points

• % — percent

Output Arguments

widthObj — Object width

mlreportgen.dom.Width object

Object width, represented by an mlreportgen.dom.Width object.

Properties

Id — ID for this document element

character vector | string scalar

ID for this document element, specified as a character vector or string scalar. The DOM generates a session-unique ID when it creates the document element. You can specify your own ID.

Tag — Tag for this document element

character vector | string scalar

Tag for this document element, specified as a character vector or string scalar.

The DOM 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. Specifying your own tag value can help you to identify where an issue occurred during document generation.

Value — Width of object

character vector

Width of object, such as an image or a table entry, specified in the form valueUnits, where Units is an abbreviation for the units. These abbreviations are valid:

• px — pixels (default)

• cm — centimeters

• in — inches

• mm — millimeters

• pc — picas

• pt — points

• % — percent of table width

The resulting width of a column depends on the types of widths (absolute or fractional (%) of table width) that you use for each table entry. Setting the width of the entire column, or setting a table entry to resize to fit its contents also affect the resulting column width.

Table Entry Width Setting	Resulting Column Width
Two or more table entries set to different absolute widths	Maximum of the absolute widths
Two or more table entries set to different fractional widths, expressed as a percent (%) of the table width	Maximum of the fractional widths
Mixture of table entries set to absolute widths and fractional widths	For PDF output, maximum of the absolute widths. For all other output formats (for example, Word and HTML), the output application determines the maximum column width to use.
One or more table entry widths set to absolute widths or fractional widths, and the column width set using mlreportgen.dom.TableColSpecGroup	Maximum of the specified table entry widths and the column width
One or more table entry widths set to absolute widths or fractional widths, and mlreportgen.dom.ResizeToFitContents set to true	For PDF output, maximum of the table entry widths. For all other output formats, maximum of the resized-to-fit table entry widths.

Examples

Set Width and Other Formats for a Table

import mlreportgen.dom.*;
doctype = 'html';
d = Document('test',doctype);

t = Table(magic(5));
t.Style = {Border('inset','crimson','6pt'),...
     Width('50%')};

t.TableEntriesInnerMargin = '6pt';     
t.TableEntriesHAlign = 'center';
t.TableEntriesVAlign = 'middle';
append(d,t);

close(d);
rptview('test',doctype);
