MATLAB Object-Oriented Programming

getHeader method, your override must handle all cases where a state handler method

calls getHeader. (See “Methods Called for a Given Object State” on page 18-8)

Sample Approaches Using the Interface

Here are some simple cases that show what methods to use for the particular customized

display.

Change the Display of Scalar Objects

Use a nonstandard layout for scalar object display that is fully defined in the

displayScalarObject method:

classdef MyClass < matlab.mixin.CustomDisplay

...

methods (Access = protected)

function displayScalarObject(obj)

% Implement the custom display for scalar obj

end

end

end

Custom Property List with Standard Layout

Use standard display layout, but create a custom property list for scalar and nonscalar

display:

classdef MyClass < matlab.mixin.CustomDisplay

...

methods(Access = protected)

function groups = getPropertyGroups(obj)

% Return PropertyGroup instances

end

end

end

Custom Property List for Scalar Only

Use standard display layout, but create a custom property list for scalar only. Call the

superclass getPropertyGroups for the nonscalar case.

classdef MyClass < matlab.mixin.CustomDisplay
