mlreportgen.ppt.TableStyleOptions class

Package: mlreportgen.ppt

Stripe table rows and columns

Description

Specifies whether to format table rows and columns. Before you use TableStyleOptions, specify the table style using the StyleName property on the Table object you want to apply the options to. The table style determines the formatting of the table, for example, the color of the banding and first- and last-column emphasis.

The mlreportgen.ppt.TableStyleOptions class is a handle class.

Creation

Description

tableStyles = TableStyleOptions() creates a TableStyleOptions object. This object uses the properties of the table style assigned to the StyleName property of the table you assign the properties to. The table uses the TableStyleOption object only if the associated table sets the StyleName property.

Alternating color (banding) for columns, specified as:

• true — Colors alternate for columns.

• false — Columns use same color.

• true — Colors alternate for rows.

• false — Rows use same color.

Tag for this PPT API object, specified as a character vector or string scalar. A session-unique tag is generated 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 presentation generation.

Examples

Style a Table

This example shows how to control the formatting of a table based on the Medium Style 2 - Accent 1 table style in the default PPT template. Change the values of each of the styling properties from false to true, or the reverse, to understand their effects.

import mlreportgen.ppt.* 

ppt = Presentation('myppt.pptx'); 
open(ppt);
add(ppt,'Title and Content'); 

% Create the tableand specify the table style name
table = Table(magic(5)); 
table.StyleName = 'Medium Style 2 - Accent 1'; 

% Create the format and set the properties
tblStyle = TableStyleOptions(); 
tblStyle.FirstRow = false; 
tblStyle.LastRow = false; 
tblStyle.FirstColumn = true; 
tblStyle.LastColumn = false; 
tblStyle.BandedRows = true; 
tblStyle.BandedColumns = false; 

% Apply the formatting to the table
table.Style = {tblStyle}; 

% Add the table to the slide
% Generate and display the presentation
replace(ppt,'Content',table); 
close(ppt); 
rptview(ppt);
