programmatically define save location of reports generated through mlreportgen.dom

i'm figuring out how to programmatically generate reports with matlab, I've got a finished product for one of the experiments I run. I am using mlreportgen.dom

The current save location is at

C:/Users/AppData/Local/Temp/mlreportgen

how can I programmatically define that location in matlab? I've changed the output path as shown in here

https://www.mathworks.com/help/rptgen/ug/mlreportgen.dom.document-class.html

but that only changes were the .htmx file saves, which is no good.

Hi Mattj,

I was able to use the 'OutputPath' parameter given in the mlreportgen.dom for saving the output files in .pdf, .html, .docx into the specified outpath path. I modified the same example given in the documentation page you had listed. The modified code is given below:

import mlreportgen.dom.*;
d = Document('mydoc','pdf');

d.OutputPath = 'E:\Workspace\Newpath.pdf'

append(d,'Hello World');

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

Can you provide a sample code so that I can check it out at my end.

I realize it's been awhile since anyone touched this thread, but just in case anyone else needed to know:

Yes, using d.OutputPath works to set the output path for the report.

I used a report (rpt = Report('reportname','pdf'), and it worked beautifully.
