Add custom properties that contain an output file name, file type, and indicators of which variables to
plot. Best practice is to assign the input table as the output argument of addprop, so that the custom
properties are part of the same table. Specify that the output file name and file type are table
metadata using the 'table' option. Specify that the plot indicators are variable metadata using the
'variable' option.
T = addprop(T,{'OutputFileName','OutputFileType','ToPlot'}, ...
{'table','table','variable'});
T.Properties
ans =
TableProperties with properties:
Description: ''
UserData: []
DimensionNames: {'Row' 'Variables'}
VariableNames: {1x6 cell}
VariableDescriptions: {}
VariableUnits: {}
VariableContinuity: []
RowNames: {}
Custom Properties (access using t.Properties.CustomProperties.):
OutputFileName: []
OutputFileType: []
ToPlot: []
Set and Access Values of Custom Properties
When you add custom properties using addprop, their values are empty arrays by default. You can
set and access the values of the custom properties using dot syntax.
Set the output file name and type. These properties contain metadata for the table. Then assign a
logical array to the ToPlot property. This property contains metadata for the variables. In this
example, the elements of the value of the ToPlot property are true for each variable to be included
in a plot, and false for each variable to be excluded.
T.Properties.CustomProperties.OutputFileName = 'outageResults';
T.Properties.CustomProperties.OutputFileType = '.mat';
T.Properties.CustomProperties.ToPlot = [false false true true true false];
