How To Use

To use a custom component, you will to create a Frame inside the uifigure and then insert your component into it.

% Create the uifigure
uifig = uifigure();
% Create the frame
frame = weblab.internal.Frame("Parent", uifig);
% Initialize your component
myComponent = weblab.components.MyComponent();
% Insert
frame.insert(myComponent);

Note: The inserted component will occupy the full height and width of the frame. If you want to reposition or resize it inside the figure, use the Position property of the Frame.

Components

These components are currently supported:

• Tree: docs / src
• TagBar: docs / src
• TagFilterTree: docs / src
• Progress: docs / src
• CodeEditor: docs / src
• HTMLContainer: docs / src

More to come! These are the next planned components:

• PDF renderer
• Interactive plots

How To Make Changes

If you make changes to the Typescript source code, you will need to rebuild the project. For that, you'll first need Node.js (which comes with npm) installed on your computer.

From a terminal at the project root, type the following commands:

# Go into the HTML source folder
$ cd +weblab/source

# Install dependencies
$ npm install

Now you can make changes in the TS source code, located inside the +weblab/source/src subdirectory.

Important: Once your changes are complete, rebuild the project by running in the terminal

$ npm run build
