mlreportgen.dom.FOProperty class

Package: mlreportgen.dom

FO property for PDF output

Description

Creates an object that specifies an XML Style Sheet Language (XSL) Formatting Object (FO) property. The DOM API uses FO objects to format PDF output. Use this object with mlreportgen.FOProperties to apply FO properties not supported by DOM format objects. For more information, see w3.org/2002/08//XSLFOsummary.html.

The mlreportgen.dom.FOProperty class is a handle class.

Creation

Description

prop = FOProperty(Name,Value) creates an FO format property having the specified name and value.

Input Arguments

Name — FO property name

character vector

FO property name, specified as a character vector.

Value — Property value

character vector

Property value for the corresponding property name, specified as a character vector.

Properties

Children — Children of document element

array of DOM objects

Children of this document element, specified as an array of DOM objects. This property is read-only.

Id — ID for this document element

character vector | string scalar

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

Attributes:

GetAccess	public
SetAccess	public
NonCopyable	true

Data Types: char | string

Name — FO property name

character vector

FO property name, specified as a character vector.

Parent — Parent of document element

DOM object

Parent of this document element, specified as a DOM object. This property is read-only.

Attributes:

GetAccess	public
SetAccess	private
NonCopyable	true

Tag — Tag for this document element

character vector | string scalar

Tag for this document element, specified as a character vector or string scalar.

The DOM generates a session-unique tag as part of the creation of this object. The generated tag has the form CLASS:ID, where CLASS is the object class and ID is the value of the Id property of the object. Specifying your own tag value can help you to identify where an issue occurred during document generation.

Attributes:

GetAccess	public
SetAccess	public
NonCopyable	true

Data Types: char | string

Value — Property value

character vector

Property value for the corresponding property name, specified as a character vector.

Examples

Use FO Property to Break a Page on List

This example shows how to apply an FO property to a List object. Using the DOM API, you can set a page break property on a paragraph using PageBreakBefore. However, you cannot use the PageBreakBefore property on a list. Instead, for PDF output, you can use the FO property 'break-before' with the value 'page'.

import mlreportgen.dom.*

d = Document('Break Before List','pdf');

listbreak = FOProperty('break-before','page');
p = Paragraph('First Page');
p.Style = {PageBreakBefore};
append(d,p);

p = Paragraph('Second Page');
p.Style = {PageBreakBefore};
append(d,p);

list = UnorderedList({'Earl Grey','Jasmine','Honeybush'});
list.Style = {FOProperties(listbreak)};
append(d,list);

close(d);
rptview(d.OutputPath);
