Input Arguments

collapse all

Label definition creator for the multisignal workflow, specified as a labelDefinitionCreatorMultisignal object.

Label name, specified as a character vector or string scalar that uniquely identifies the label with which the sublabel is associated.

Sublabel name, specified as a character vector or string scalar that identifies the sublabel to be added.

Type of sublabel, specified as one of these values:

  • labelType enumeration — The type of the sublabel must be one of these labelType enumerators: Rectangle or Line.

Example: addSublabel(ldc,'Car','Wheel',labelType.Rectangle);

  • Character vector or string scalar — This value must partially or fully match one of these labelType enumerators: Rectangle or Line.

Example: addSublabel(ldc,'Car','Wheel','Rec');

Name-Value Arguments

Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose Name in quotes.

Example: addSublabel(ldc,'Car','Wheel','Rec','Description','Bounding box for Wheel');

Sublabel description, specified as a comma-separated pair consisting of 'Description' and a character vector or string scalar. Use this name-value pair to describe the sublabel.
