I’m writing a class that stores its data in the form of cell arrays, matching values to their units. An example property definition might look something like:
classdef myClass
properties (SetAccess = private)
prop1 (2, 2) cell = { 1000, "m" ; 1, "km" }
end
end
In the class definition, I’d like to use property validation to restrict the values in column 1 to valid distances, nonnegative for example, and column 2 to valid strings that define an actual unit type, "m"/"ft"/"in" for example. This is trivial for defined types, like ‘int16’ or ‘double’, but I’m wondering if anyone has accomplished this for columns/rows inside a cell array. The goal here is to store property value with its unit, while also restricting both to valid input. Is this possible given the cell type at property definition?
