    Input Arguments

    collapse all

    Label definition creator for the lidar workflow, specified as a labelDefinitionCreatorLidar object.

    Label name, specified as a character vector or string scalar. This sets the label to which to add the attribute.

    Attribute name, specified as a character vector or string scalar. This sets the attribute to add to the label.

    Type of attribute, specified using one of these options:

    • attributeType enumeration — Specify the attribute as a Numeric, Logical, String, or List attributeType enumerator. For example, attributeType.String specifies a String attribute type.

    • Character vector or string scalar — Specify a value that partially or fully matches one of the attributeType enumerators. For example, Str specifies a String attribute type.

    Default value of the attribute, specified as a valid attribute value depending on the value of the typeOfAttribute argument:

    • Numeric — Specify the value as a numeric scalar.

    • Logical — Specify the value as a logical scalar.

    • String — Specify the value as a character vector or string scalar.

    • List — Specify the value as a cell array of character vectors or string scalars. The first element of the cell array is the default value.

    Name-Value Arguments

    Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

    Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose Name in quotes.

    Example: 'Description','car' sets the description of the added label attribute to 'car'.

    Attribute description, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Description' and a character vector or string scalar. Use this name-value pair argument to describe the attribute.
