mlreportgen.dom.CounterInc class

Package: mlreportgen.dom
Superclasses:

Number stream counter incrementers

Description

Create numbering stream counter incrementers.

Construction

counterIncObj = CounterInc() creates an empty counter incrementer.

counterIncObj = CounterInc(streamNames) creates a counter incrementer for each specified numbering streams. Assigning this format to the style of a DOM object causes the associated stream counters to be incremented 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

counterIncObj — Numbering stream counter incrementers

mlreportgen.dom.CounterInc objects

Numbering stream counter incrementers, represented by mlreportgen.dom.CounterInc objects.

Properties

Id — ID for document element

character vector

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

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.

Tag — Tag for document element

character vector

Tag for the document element, specified as a character vector.

The DOM generates a session-unique tag when it creates the document element. Structure the tag as class:id, where class is the class of the element and id is the value of the Id property. You can specify a tag to replace the generated tag. Specifying your own tag can make it easier to identify where an issue occurred during document generation.

Examples

Increment Chapter Numbering

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