MATLAB: Problems while setting BackgroundColor of a Simulink masked subsystem

backgroundcolormasked subsystem

Hello together,

I want to set the bachgroundcolor of a Simulink masked subsystem to a specific rgb value. According to the help it can be done by:

set_param(gcb,'BackgroundColor',[1,1,1])

Using this leads to an error.

Warning: Could not evaluate MaskDisplay commands of block 'test/ICE_2_ECLTUCH': Invalid setting in SubSystem
block (mask) 'ICE_2_ECLTUCH' for parameter 'BackgroundColor' 
Invalid setting in SubSystem block (mask) 'ICE_2_ECLTUCH' for parameter 'BackgroundColor'

Anyone an idea?!

If your subsystem is called ICE_2_ECLTUCH and your simulink model called untitled

set_param('untitled/ICE_2_ECLTUCH','backgroundcolor','[1 0 1]')

MATLAB: How to correct the ‘Invalid root outport connection in the referenced model ‘referenced_model’ error in Simulink 7.2 (R2008a)

As your referenced model has the 'Invalid root Inport/Outport block connection' diagnostic set to error, Simulink will not automatically fix any problems regarding Inport/Outport connections. Your model violates one of the rules by muxing the outputs of two different blocks and feeding it directly to the outport. As stated in the documentation it is now allowed to have the following situation in your model: "A root Output port is connected directly or indirectly to more than one nonvirtual block port".

In order to resolve this problem, you can use one of the following approaches:

1) Set the diagnostic 'Invalid root Inport/Outport block connection' to 'none', which will cause Simulink to automatically handle this kind of situations by inserting additional blocks. The diagnostic can be found under: Simulation > Configuration Parameters... > Diagnostics > Model Referencing

2) Insert a gain block with value 1 between the Mux and Outport block. This will make sure only one block is directly fed into the Outport

MATLAB: For UITABLE: BackgroundColor for row

You cannot directly set colors per column (unless it can be done at the Java level.)

The work-around is to change the column to string format, convert the numeric values to string, and wrap each string with an HTML code to change the color.

bgcols = floor(255 * [.4 .1 .1;.1 .1 .4]);
colfmtstr = sprintf('<HTML><TABLE><TD bgcolor="rgb(%d,%d,%d)"%%g', bgcols(1,:));
colcontents = cellstr( num2str(magic(10), colfmtstr) );

then make colcontents one of the columns of the data. Change the color for a different column by changing the (1,:) to (2,:)
