Zebra-Striped Table in app desginer

I created this theoretical table (code attached) in order to style it as Zebra-Striped Table. I looked on the example https://www.mathworks.com/help/rptgen/ug/create-a-zebra-striped-table.html but I get this error:

Unrecognized method, property, or field 'row' for class 'mlreportgen.dom.MATLABTable'.

Therefore, how can I fix it? Furthermore, is there a better way to split the table into two, use zebra style and add space between them?

Code:

function ButtonPushed(app, event)
        import mlreportgen.dom.*;
        import mlreportgen.report.*
  
        ID = [1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9;10;11;12;13;14;15;16;17;18;19;20];
        Name = {'San';'John';'Lee';'Boo';'Jay';'Li';'Jo';'Tom,';'Mike';'Dave,';'San';'John';'Lee';'Boo';'Jay';'Li';'Jo';'Tom,';'Mike';'Dave,'};
        r1 = rot90(randi([0 10],1,20));
        r2 = rot90(randi([-20 10],1,20));
        r3 = rot90(randi([0 9],1,20));
        r4 = rot90(randi([0 10],1,20));
        r5 =   (-5 + (5+5)*rand(20,1));
        r6 =   (5 + (5+5)*rand(20,1));
        r7 =   (5 + (5+5)*rand(20,1)); 
        r8 = rot90(randi([0 100],1,20));
        t = table(ID,Name,r1, r2, r3, r4, r5,r6,r7, r8);
        ta1 = (t(:,[1 2 3 4 5]));
        ta2 = (t(:,[1 6 7 8 9 10]));  
 
            
        sTable1 = MATLABTable(ta1);
        sTable2 = MATLABTable(ta2);
        
        headerStyle = { BackgroundColor("Yellow"), Bold(true), Italic(true) };    
        set(sTable1, 'Width', '100%', 'Border', 'single',...
            'RowSep', 'solid', 'ColSep', 'solid',...
            'TableEntriesHAlign', 'center');
        set(sTable2, 'Width', '100%', 'Border', 'single',...
            'RowSep', 'solid', 'ColSep', 'solid',...
            'TableEntriesHAlign', 'center');
        sTable1.HeaderRule = ''; 
        sTable1.Header.Style = headerStyle; 
        sTable2.HeaderRule = ''; 
        sTable2.Header.Style = headerStyle; 
        p1 = Paragraph(' ');
        p1.Style = {OuterMargin('0.5in','0in','0in','12pt')};
         
        d = Document('myPDF','pdf');
        d.OutputPath = ['E:/','ReportPDF'];
 
        
        for i = 1:height(ta1)
            r = sTable1.row(i);
        if mod(i,2)==0
            sTable1.Style = {BackgroundColor('lightsteelblue')};
        else
            sTable1.Style = {BackgroundColor('white')};
        end
        end
        
        sTable1.Style={RowHeight('0.3in'),RowSep('solid'),ColSep('solid')};
        sTable1.Width= '3in';
        sTable1.TableEntriesVAlign = 'middle';
        sTable1.TableEntriesHAlign = 'center';
        sTable1.Border = 'single';
    
        append(d,sTable1);
        append(d,p1);
        append(d,sTable2);
        
        close(d);
        rptview(d.OutputPath);  
        end
    end

Hi Lluis,

The example uses the mlreportgen.dom.Table class, which has a row method to access specific rows of the table. The error is occuring because you are using the class mlreportgen.dom.MATLABTable class, which does not have the row method. To create a zebra-striped MATLABTable, use the row method of the table's Body property.

for i = 1:height(ta1)
    r = sTable1.Body.row(i);
    if mod(i,2)==0
        r.Style = {BackgroundColor('lightsteelblue')};
    else
        r.Style = {BackgroundColor('white')};
    end
end
