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 <miscTikzAxisOptions, STRING>` or
:opt:`graphMiscTikzAddPlotOptions <graphMiscTikzAddPlotOptions, STRING>`.

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

    .. option:: graphMiscTikzAddPlotOptions, STRING

        If you are comfortable with ``PGFPLOTS/TikZ``, you can use
        this option to pass arguments directly to the
        ``PGFPLOTS/TikZ`` ``addPlots`` command. (e.g., Instead of
        passing the marker options above, you can pass a string such
        as the following to this option: ``'mark=halfcircle*,mark
        options={rotate=90,scale=3}'``). Specifically to be used for
        desired ``PGFPLOTS/TikZ`` options that have not been
        incorporated into Dynare Reproting. Default: ``empty``.

    .. option:: graphShowInLegend, BOOLEAN

        Whether or not to show this series in the legend, given that
        the :opt:`showLegend <showLegend, BOOLEAN>` option was passed
        to :repmeth:`addGraph`. Default: ``true``.

    .. option:: graphVline, dates

        Use this option to draw a vertical line at a given
        date. Default: ``empty``.

    .. option:: tableDataRhs, dseries

        A series to be added to the right of the current
        series. Useful for displaying aggregate data for a
        series, e.g, if the series is quarterly ``tableDataRhs`` could
        point to the yearly averages of the quarterly series. This
        would cause quarterly data to be displayed followed by annual
        data. Default: ``empty``.

    .. option:: tableRowColor, STRING

        The color that you want the row to be. Predefined values
        include ``'LightCyan'`` and ``'Gray'``. Default: ``'white'``.

    .. option:: tableRowIndent, INTEGER

        The number of times to indent the name of the series in the
        table. Used to create subgroups of series. Default: ``0``.

    .. option:: tableShowMarkers, BOOLEAN

        In a Table, if ``true``, surround each cell with brackets and
        color it according to :opt:`tableNegColor
        <tableNegColor, LATEX_COLOR>` and :opt:`tablePosColor
        <tablePosColor, LATEX_COLOR>`. No effect for graphs.
        Default: ``false``.

    .. option:: tableAlignRight, BOOLEAN

        Whether to align the series name to the right of the
        cell. Default: ``false``.

    .. option:: tableMarkerLimit, DOUBLE

        For values less than :math:`-1*\texttt{tableMarkerLimit}`,
        mark the cell with the color denoted by ``tableNegColor``. For
        those greater than ``tableMarkerLimit``, mark the cell with
        the color denoted by ``tablePosColor``. Default: ``1e-4``.

    .. option:: tableNaNSymb, STRING

        Replace ``NaN`` values with the text in this option. Default: ``NaN``.

    .. option:: tableNegColor, LATEX_COLOR

        The color to use when marking Table data that is less than
        zero. Default: ``'red'``

    .. option:: tablePrecision, INTEGER

        The number of decimal places to report in the table
        data. Default: the value set by :opt:`precision
        <precision, INTEGER>`.

    .. option:: tablePosColor, LATEX_COLOR

        The color to use when marking Table data that is greater than
        zero. Default: ``'blue'``

    .. option:: tableSubSectionHeader, STRING

        A header for a subsection of the table. No data will be
        associated with it. It is equivalent to adding an empty series
        with a name. Default: ``''``

    .. option:: zeroTol, DOUBLE

        The zero tolerance. Anything smaller than ``zeroTol`` and
        larger than ``-zeroTol`` will be set to zero before being
        graphed or written to the table. Default: ``1e-6``.


.. reportingmethod:: addParagraph

    |br| Adds a ``Paragraph`` to a ``Section``.

    The ``Section`` can only be comprised of ``Paragraphs`` and must
    only have 1 column.

    *Options*

    .. option:: balancedCols, BOOLEAN

        Determines whether the text is spread out evenly across the
        columns when the ``Paragraph`` has more than one
        column. Default: ``true``.

    .. option:: cols, INTEGER

        The number of columns for the ``Paragraph``. Default: ``1``.

    .. option:: heading, STRING

        The heading for the ``Paragraph`` (like a section
        heading). The string must be valid :math:`\text{\LaTeX}` code. Default:
        ``empty``.

    .. option:: indent, BOOLEAN

        Whether or not to indent the paragraph. Default: ``true``.

    .. option:: text, STRING

        The paragraph itself. The string must be valid :math:`\text{\LaTeX}`
        code. Default: ``empty``.


.. reportingmethod:: addVspace

    |br| Adds a ``Vspace`` (vertical space) to a ``Section``.

    *Options*

    .. option:: hline, INTEGER

        The number of horizontal lines to be inserted. Default: ``0``.

    .. option:: number, INTEGER

        The number of new lines to be inserted. Default: ``1``.


.. reportingmethod:: write

    |br| Writes the :math:`\text{\LaTeX}` representation of this
    ``Report``, saving it to the file specified by :opt:`filename
    <fileName, FILENAME>`.


.. reportingmethod:: compile

    |br| Compiles the report written by ``write`` into a ``pdf``
    file. If the report has not already been written (determined by
    the existence of the file specified by :opt:`filename
    <fileName, FILENAME>`, ``write`` is called.

    *Options*

    .. option:: compiler, FILENAME

        Like :opt:`compiler <compiler, FILENAME>`, except will not
        overwrite the value of ``compiler`` contained in the report
        object. Hence, passing the value here is useful for using
        different :math:`\text{\LaTeX}` compilers or just for passing
        the value at the last minute.

    .. option:: showOutput, BOOLEAN

        Print the compiler output to the screen. Useful for debugging
        your code as the :math:`\text{\LaTeX}` compiler hangs if there is a
        problem. Default: the value of :opt:`showOutput
        <showOutput, BOOLEAN>`.

    .. option:: showReport, BOOLEAN

        Open the compiled report (works on Windows and macOS on
        MATLAB). Default: ``true``.


*Example*

The following code creates a one-page report. The first part of the
page contains two graphs displayed across two columns and one row. The
bottom of the page displays a centered table::

    %% Create dseries
    dsq = dseries('quarterly.csv');
    dsa = dseries('annual.csv');
    dsca = dseries('annual_control.csv');

    %% Report
    rep = report();

    %% Page 1
    rep.addPage('title', {'My Page Title', 'My Page Subtitle'}, ...
                'titleFormat', {'\large\bfseries', '\large'});

    % Section 1
    rep.addSection('cols', 2);

    rep.addGraph('title', 'Graph Column 1', 'showLegend', true, ...
                'xrange', dates('2007q1'):dates('2013q4'), ...
                'shade', dates('2012q2'):dates('2013q4'));
    rep.addSeries('data', dsq{'GROWTH_US'}, 'graphLineColor', 'blue', ...
                'graphLineStyle', 'loosely dashed', 'graphLineWidth', 1);
    rep.addSeries('data', dsq{'GROWTH_EU'}, 'graphLineColor', 'green', ...
                'graphLineWidth', 1.5);

    rep.addGraph('title', 'Graph Column 2', 'showLegend', true, ...
                'xrange', dates('2007q1'):dates('2013q4'), ...
                'shade', dates('2012q2'):dates('2013q4'));
    rep.addSeries('data', dsq{'GROWTH_JA'}, 'graphLineColor', 'blue', ...
                'graphLineWidth', 1);
    rep.addSeries('data', dsq{'GROWTH_RC6'}, 'graphLineColor', 'green', ...
                'graphLineStyle', 'dashdotdotted', 'graphLineWidth', 1.5);

    % Section 2
    rep.addVspace('number', 15);
    rep.addSection();
    rep.addTable('title', 'Table 1', 'range', dates('2012Y'):dates('2014Y'));
    shortNames = {'US', 'EU'};
    longNames  = {'United States', 'Euro Area'};
    for i=1:length(shortNames)
        rep.addSeries('data', dsa{['GROWTH_' shortNames{i}]});
        delta = dsa{['GROWTH_' shortNames{i}]}-dsca{['GROWTH_' shortNames{i}]};
        delta.tex_rename_('$\Delta$');
        rep.addSeries('data', delta, ...
                    'tableShowMarkers', true, 'tableAlignRight', true);
    end

    %% Write & Compile Report
    rep.write();
    rep.compile();

Once compiled, the report looks like:
