Reset numbering stream counters

Description

Reset numbering stream counters.

Construction

counterResetObj = CounterReset() creates an empty counter reset object.

counterResetObj = CounterReset(streamNames) creates a counter resetter for each specified numbering streams. Assigning this format to the style of a DOM object causes the associated stream counters to be reset to their initial values when the object is appended to a document.

Input Arguments

streamNames — Numbering stream names

character vector

Numbering stream names, specified as a character vector. To specify multiple stream names, add a space between the stream names.

Output Arguments

reset — Numbering stream counter resets

mlreportgen.dom.CounterReset objects

Numbering stream counter resets, represented by mlreportgen.dom.CounterReset objects.

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.

StreamName — Numbering stream names

character vector

Numbering stream name, specified as a character vector. To specify multiple stream names, add a space between the stream names.

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.

Examples

Reset Numbering for Chapters and Tables

import mlreportgen.dom.*;
doctype = 'html';
d = Document('test',doctype);
     
p = Paragraph('Chapter ');
p.Style = {CounterInc('chapter'),CounterReset('table'),...
   WhiteSpace('preserve') };
append(p,AutoNumber('chapter'));
append(d,p);
     
p = Paragraph('Table ');
append(p,AutoNumber('chapter'));
append(p,'.');
append(p,AutoNumber('table'));
p.Style = {CounterInc('table'),WhiteSpace('preserve') };
append(d,p);
     
p = Paragraph('Chapter ');
p.Style = {CounterInc('chapter'),CounterReset('table'),...
   WhiteSpace('preserve')};
append(p,AutoNumber('chapter'));
append(d,p);
     
p = Paragraph('Table ');
append(p,AutoNumber('chapter'));
append(p,'.');
append(p, AutoNumber('table'));
p.Style = {CounterInc('table'),WhiteSpace('preserve')};
append(d,p);
     
close(d);
rptview('test',doctype);

Specify Multiple Streams for CounterInc and CounterReset

import mlreportgen.dom.*
rpt = Document('MyReport','docx');

chapterStyle = {WhiteSpace('pre'), ...
    CounterReset('table figure'), ...
    CounterInc('chapter') ...
    };

topicChapterStyle = {WhiteSpace('pre'), ...
    CounterReset('table figure'), ...
    CounterInc('chapter topic') ...
    };

figureStyle = {WhiteSpace('pre'), ...
    CounterInc('figure'),Italic(true)};

chapter = Heading(1,'Chapter: ');
chapter.Style = chapterStyle;
append(chapter,AutoNumber('chapter'));
append(chapter,' Introduction to number streams.');
append(rpt, chapter);

image = append(rpt,Image(which('b747.jpg')));
image.Width = '2in';
image.Height = '2in';
para = append(rpt, Paragraph('Figure '));
para.Style = figureStyle;
append(para, AutoNumber('chapter'));
append(para, '.');
append(para, AutoNumber('figure'));

image = append(rpt,Image(which('ngc6543a.jpg')));
image.Width = '2in';
image.Height = '2in';
para = append(rpt,Paragraph('Figure '));
para.Style = figureStyle;
append(para, AutoNumber('chapter'));
append(para, '.');
append(para, AutoNumber('figure'));

 
chapter = Heading(1, 'Chapter: ');
chapter.Style = topicChapterStyle;
append(chapter, AutoNumber('chapter'));
append(chapter,' Topic: ');
append(chapter,AutoNumber('topic'));
append(chapter,' How to reset and increment streams.');
append(rpt,chapter);

image = append(rpt,Image(which('b747.jpg')));
image.Width = '2in';
image.Height = '2in';
para = append(rpt,Paragraph('Figure '));
para.Style = figureStyle;
append(para, AutoNumber('chapter'));
append(para, '.');
append(para, AutoNumber('figure'));

 
close(rpt);
rptview(rpt.OutputPath);
