How to publish the "matlab.un​ittest.Tes​tResult" objects to a PDF report?

How to publish the "matlab.unittest.TestResult" objects to a PDF report?

I'm currently running a combination of MATLAB xUnit-style tests and Simulink Tests from a single MATLAB script using matlab.unittest.TestSuite and matlab.unittest.TestRunner.  I'm running the Simulink tests this way so that I can output the results in a JUnit-style XML document using the matlab.unittest.plugins.XMLPlugin.  Here's a simple example:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

>> import matlab.unittest.TestRunner
>> import matlab.unittest.TestSuite
>> import matlab.unittest.plugins.XMLPlugin
>> import matlab.unittest.plugins.ToFile

% Creating test suite from file
>> suite = testsuite('AutopilotTestFile.mldatx');

% Creating a test runner and configuring
>> runner = TestRunner.withTextOutput;
>> xmlFile = 'some_outputs.xml';
>> plugin = XMLPlugin.producingJUnitFormat(xmlFile);
>> runner.addPlugin(plugin);

% Running tests
>> results = runner.run(suite);

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The results variable is an object of type matlab.unittest.TestResult.  The question is that I want to use sltest.testmanager.report to generate a PDF report of the results, but sltest.testmanager.report does not accept matlab.unittest.TestResult objects as arguments.  It expects an object of type sltest.testmanager.ResultSet.  Is there a way to convert from an array of matlab.unittest.TestResult objects to an object of type sltest.testmanager.ResultSet?  

If not, how should I go about publishing the matlab.unittest.TestResult objects to a PDF?

One solution is to create a plugin, "TestReportPlugin", that directs the "TestRunner" to produce a test result report in PDF file format. Please refer to the following link for more information on using the plugin, "TestReportPlugin":

• Run below command in MATLAB 2016b for documentation:

>>web(fullfile(docroot,'matlab/ref/matlab.unittest.plugins.testreportplugin-class.html'))

Or for latest release documentation please refer to:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/matlab.unittest.plugins.testreportplugin-class.html

Adding the following lines before running the tests produces the test results report in PDF file format:

>> pdfFile = 'MyTestReport.pdf';
>> pluginPdf = TestReportPlugin.producingPDF(pdfFile,...
    'IncludingPassingDiagnostics',true,'IncludingCommandWindowText',true);
>> runner.addPlugin(pluginPdf);

Also, make sure that the "TestReportPlugin" is imported.
