MATLAB: How to hide the block name in R2017a

How do I hide the block name in R2017a?

Best Answer

There are at least three options to do that in R2017a:

1. Click the block and a blue ellipsis (i.e. '...') will show up on top of the block. Hover over that ellipsis and a quick toolbar with the 'Hide Block Name' option will show up. Click that option.

2. Right click the block and bring up the context menu. In the context menu, go to Format > Hide Block Name.

3. Programmatically, run the following command:

>> set_param(path_to_blk, 'ShowName', 'off');

where 'path_to_blk' is the block's path. You can get this path by running the 'gcb' command when the block is being selected.

MATLAB: How to override the zoom uicontextmenu with a custom uicontextmenu, when in zoom mode, in MATLAB 7.3 (R2006b)

This can be accomplished with the zoom accessor object. The following example illustartes how this can be done:

% Define the context menu
cmenu = uicontextmenu;
% Define the line and associate it with the context menu
hline = plot(1:10,'UIContextMenu', cmenu);
% Define callbacks for context menu items
cb1 = ['set(hline, ''LineStyle'', ''--'')'];
cb2 = ['set(hline, ''LineStyle'', '':'')'];
cb3 = ['set(hline, ''LineStyle'', ''-'')'];
% Define the context menu items
item1 = uimenu(cmenu, 'Label', 'dashed', 'Callback', cb1);
item2 = uimenu(cmenu, 'Label', 'dotted', 'Callback', cb2);
item3 = uimenu(cmenu, 'Label', 'solid', 'Callback', cb3);
% Get the handle to the zoom mode object for the figure
zh = zoom(gcf);
% Set the UI Context Menu to the custom menu
set(zh, 'uicontextmenu', cmenu)

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:
