.. highlight:: matlab ######### Reporting ######### Dynare provides a simple interface for creating :math:`\text{\LaTeX}` reports, comprised of :math:`\text{\LaTeX}` tables and ``PGFPLOTS/TikZ graphs``. You can use the report as created through Dynare or pick out the pieces (tables and graphs) you want for inclusion in your own paper. Though Dynare provides a subset of options available through ``PGFPLOTS/TikZ``, you can easily modify the graphs created by Dynare using the options available in the ``PGFPLOTS/TikZ`` manual. You can either do this manually or by passing the options to :opt:`miscTikzAxisOptions ` or :opt:`graphMiscTikzAddPlotOptions `. Reports are created and modified by calling methods on class objects. The objects are hierarchical, with the following order (from highest to lowest): ``Report``, ``Page``, ``Section``, ``Graph/Table/Vspace``, ``Series``. For simplicity of syntax, we abstract away from these classes, allowing you to operate directly on a ``Report`` object, while maintaining the names of these classes in the ``Report`` class methods you will use. The report is created sequentially, command by command, hence the order of the commands matters. When an object of a certain hierarchy is inserted, all methods will function on that object until an object of equal or greater hierarchy is added. Hence, once you add a ``Page`` to the report, every time you add a ``Section`` object, it will be added to this ``Page`` until another ``Page`` is added to the report (via :repmeth:`addPage`). This will become more clear with the example at the end of the section. Options to methods are passed differently than those to Dynare commands. They take the form of named options to MATLAB functions where the arguments come in pairs (e.g. ``function_name(`option_1_name', `option_1_value', `option_2_name', `option_2_value', ...)``, where ``option_X_name`` is the name of the option while ``option_X_value`` is the value assigned to that option). The ordering of the option pairs matters only in the unusual case when an option is provided twice (probably erroneously). In this case, the last value passed is the one that is used. Below, you will see a list of methods available for the Report class and a clarifying example. .. construct:: report |br| Instantiates a ``Report`` object. *Options* .. option:: compiler, FILENAME The full path to the :math:`\text{\LaTeX}` compiler on your system. If this option is not provided, Dynare will try to find the appropriate program to compile :math:`\text{\LaTeX}` on your system.
