Starting the Component Creation Wizard

To open the Component Creation Wizard, type compwiz at the command line.

The list box on the left side lists five pages that you should complete when you are creating a component. Although you should complete all five pages, you can skip ahead at any time if you prefer.

The five pages are:

• Component Category
• Component Name
• Component Attributes
• Component Methods
• Confirm Selections

Tutorial Overview

This chapter discusses these options in detail, and uses a tutorial to guide you through the process of creating a new component. In this tutorial, you will create a component that will produce a plot and insert the plot into a report.

You will use the Component Wizard to create the skeleton component, which consists of a directory and M-files or methods. Then you will edit the component's M-files to complete the component.
