parfor in MATLAB Report Generator

I am wondering if there is any problem using parfor loop and MATLAB Report Generator.

For example, I use the following code to generate one PDF file.

rpt = mlreportgen.report.Report('tmp.pdf'); 
tp        = mlreportgen.report.TitlePage; 
tp.Title  = 'Magic Squares'; 
tp.Author = 'Albrecht Durer'; 
append(rpt,tp); 
append(rpt, mlreportgen.report.TableOfContents);

....
    
close(rpt)

Can I put the above code inside a parfor loop (and I will use different filename for each iteration) to generate one PDF file in each iteration?

Hi Kevin,

You can use MATLAB Report Generator with a ‘parfor’ loop to create multiple reports simultaneously, improving efficiency.

Refer to the following example code snippet:

import mlreportgen.dom.*; 
import mlreportgen.report.*; 

% Define the number of iterations 
numIterations = 10; 

% Use a parfor loop to execute the report generation 100 times 
parfor i = 1:numIterations 
    rptName = sprintf('report/tmp_%d', i); 
    rpt = Report(rptName);  
    tp = TitlePage;  
    tp.Title  = 'Magic Squares';  
    tp.Author = 'Albrecht Durer';  
    append(rpt,tp);  
    append(rpt, TableOfContents); 
end 

Refer to the following MathWorks Documentation to learn more about ‘parfor’ function: https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2024b/parallel-computing/parfor.html

I hope this helps!
