Improved Graphical User Interface

This version of the MATLAB Report Generator software has the following changes and improvements to the graphical user interface:

• The File Converter has a Source File drop-down list. Click Browse to navigate to a directory to select a source file. The default directory is the current directory.

• In the File Converter, you can select a stylesheet from the drop-down list and click Edit to open the Stylesheet Editor.

• An improved mechanism detects and displays errors that occur when you attempt to add a component that makes the style hierarchy invalid. Users of earlier versions may notice that warnings are now issued for components that had no problems in earlier versions. In this release, warning messages contain instructions about how to fix the problem.

• The Figure Screen Capture component has been improved to capture window decorations such as menus, title bars, and toolbars.
