Report Generator Creation

Create a MATLAB^® program to generate a Microsoft^® Word, HTML, or PDF report

Use the MATLAB Report Generator™ application programming interface (API) to create programs to generate reports. To get started, see Create Report Programs. Other topics below have details about the required and optional tasks, and the elements that make up a report generator program. For general information on reporters, see What Are Reporters?

To share your report generation program with others who do not have MATLAB installed on their systems, see Create Standalone Applications from Report Programs.
