How to centre an Image on a Figure with a Caption in Report Generator to Word?

Using the MATLAB report generator to MS Word, you can define to centre and image by the Style.HAline command,

but there is no HAline option for when you want an image with a Caption using FormalImage command or Snapshot.Caption on a figure

There is an example publish on how to center an image on an entire page, but I am talking simply on centring it in the line... not the paper.

Any ideas?

Hi @Alex,

To center an image with a caption in MATLAB report generator, you can use the following steps:

1. Create a container to hold the image and caption. You can use a FormalImage or Snapshot.Caption command to achieve this.
2. Set the 'HorizontalAlignment' property of the container to 'center'.
3. Set the 'HorizontalAlignment' property of the image to 'center'.

Here is an example code snippet that demonstrates this:

% Create a FormalImage container with a caption 
image = imread('myimage.png'); 
caption = 'My Image'; 
formalImage = FormalImage(image, 'Caption', caption); 

% Set the HorizontalAlignment property of the container to center 
formalImage.Style.HorizontalAlignment = 'center'; 

% Get the image object within the FormalImage container 
imageObj = formalImage.Children(1); 

% Set the HorizontalAlignment property of the image to center 
imageObj.HorizontalAlignment = 'center'; 

This code will create a FormalImage container with the specified image and caption, and then center both the container and the image horizontally within the line.

FormalImage doesn't have a Style member.
