Newbie Question about MATLAB Report Generator

Hi everyone,

I am learning how to MATLAB Report Generator to generate PDF file. I am following the magic squares example in the documentation.

Once I have the variable "rpt", I have tried to generate PDF file using this command:

report(rpt)

Q1: The above command always generates the PDF in the current folder. How do I change the folder?

Q2: If I delete the PDF file and run the above command a second time, it does not generate the PDF file. Is this expected.

Thanks

After playing around with my matlab script a bit more, then I realize that my original question doesn not make sense.

It turns out that it is these lines that will create the pdf file (maybe 0 byte).

rpt = mlreportgen.report.Report([mfilename('fullpath'), '.pdf']);
tp          = mlreportgen.report.TitlePage; 
tp.Title    = 'Magic Squares'; 
tp.Subtitle = 'Columns, Rows, Diagonals: All Equal Sums'; 
tp.Author   = 'Albrecht Durer'; 
append(rpt,tp); 

Then it is the line that creates the final PDF file

close(rpt)

Am I correct?

That looks right to me. I'd encourage you to look at the task examples:
