List - Create bulleted or numbered list from cell array or child components

Description

This component creates a bulleted or numbered list from a cell array or child components.

List Content

• Create list from workspace cell array: Creates the list from of the 1-by-n or n-by-1 cell array. This option is not available when this component has child components — in this case, the list automatically generates from the child components.

• List title: Specifies the title of the list.

List Formatting

• List style:

  • Bulleted list

  • Numbered list.

• Numbering style: Specifies a numbering style for numbered lists. This setting is supported only in the RTF/DOC report format. Options include:

  • 1,2,3,4,...

  • a,b,c,d,...

  • A,B,C,D,...

  • i,ii,iii,iv,...

  • I,II,III,IV,...

• Show parent number in nested list (1.1.a): Displays all level numbers in a nested list. You can create a nested list by putting one cell array inside another or by nesting one List component inside another. Following is an example of how a list appears when you select this option:

  2. Example
  	2.1. Example
  	2.2. Example
  		2.2.a. Example
  		2.2.b. Example
  3. Example
  

  This option is not available if you select Show only current list value (a).

• Show only current list value (a): Displays only the current list value. Following is an example of how a list appears when you select this option:

  1. Example
  2. Example
  	1. Example

  		1. Example
  		2. Example
  3. Example
  

  This option is not available if you select Show parent number in nested list (1.1.a).

Example 1: Creating a Nested List

Consider the following report setup file, which includes a nested list created by putting a List component inside another List component:

[-] Report - Unnamed.rpt
   [-] Bulleted list from child components
      [ ] Text - sky
      [ ] Table - varname
      [ ] Image - test.jpg
      [ ] Text - grass
      [-] Bulleted list from child components
         [ ] Text - clouds
         [ ] Text - sun
      [-] Paragraph - information

This report setup file generates a report that includes the following bulleted lists:

• sky

• varname, the table from the variable

• test.jpg, a snapshot of the image

• grass

  • clouds

  • sun

• information

Example 2: Creating a List Using Child Components

To generate a report that includes the following bulleted list:

• red

• green

• blue

Use the following report setup file:

[-] Report - Unnamed.rpt
   [-] Bulleted list from child components
      [ ] Text - red
      [ ] Text - green
      [ ] Text - blue

Creating a List Using a Cell Array

To generate the same bulleted list as in the previous example, configure a report setup file to call a cell array, colors:

[-] Report - Unnamed.rpt
   [-] Bulleted list from cell array called colors

Wherecolors is:

colors={'red','green','blue'}

Insert Anything into Report?

Yes. List.
