MATLAB: How to create a hyperlink within a Live Script that opens a Simulink model

hyperlinklinklivemarkupMATLABmodelopenopen_systemscriptsimulinkslx

I would like to create a hyperlink within my Live Script that, when clicked on, opens up a certain Simulink model. How can I do this?

Best Answer

You can use the Live Editor markup method along with an 'open_system' command to create a hyperlink that opens up a Simulink model.

[label_name](matlab:open_system(name_of_model))

For example, if you would like to create a hyperlink with the display text 'Open Model', which opens up the local file 'my_model.slx', you can insert the following line into the text of your Live Script:

[Open Model](matlab:open_system('my_model.slx'))

Alternatively, you can highlight the text which you wish to be the display text, right-click and select 'Hyperlink', and then add in the 'matlab:open_system' command into the 'Target URL' field.

MATLAB: How to edit the appearance of a masked subsystem such that the block icon can display text

Under the 'Icon & Ports' tab in the mask Editor, there is a pane that allows you to enter Icon Drawing commands. The following code can be entered into that pane to display text on the block icon:

fprintf(['Hello there! \n'...
         'I use Simulink... \n'...
         ' and MATLAB as well. \n'...
         ' Do you?'...
         ]);

MATLAB: How to programmatically replace a referenced model with a Subsystem in Simulink

Assuming that you have a 'parent.slx' model which references a model 'child.slx' (whose block name is 'Model' in the parent Simulink model), use either of the following options:

>> open_system('parent');

>> add_block('built-in/Subsystem',['parent/mySub']);

>> load_system('child');

>> Simulink.BlockDiagram.copyContentsToSubsystem('child',['parent/mySub']);

>> pos = get_param('parent/Model','position');

>> delete_block('parent/Model');

>> set_param('parent/mySub','position',pos);

>> open_system('parent');

>> load_system('child');

>> convert2subsys('child');

>> add_block('child/Subsystem','parent/mySub');

>> pos = get_param('parent/Model','position');

>> delete_block('parent/Model');

>> set_param('parent/mySub','position',pos);

>> close_system('child',0);

where 'convert2subsys' is defined at the following link:
