slLibraryBrowser

Open, load, and close Simulink Library Browser, create and get handle of Library Browser object

Syntax

slLibraryBrowser

libraryhandle = slLibraryBrowser

slLibraryBrowser('open')

slLibraryBrowser('noshow')

slLibraryBrowser('close')

Description

slLibraryBrowser opens the Simulink^® Library Browser in standalone mode. For more information on standalone mode, see Library Browser in Standalone Mode.

Note

• If you want to load the Simulink block library, use load_system simulink instead.

• If you want to start Simulink without opening any windows, use the faster start_simulink instead.

libraryhandle = slLibraryBrowser creates the Library Browser object LibraryBrowser.LBStandalone and returns the object handle. When you have the object handle, you can use the object properties and functions to display, hide, size, position, and refresh the Library Browser in standalone mode. For more information, see Library Browser in Standalone Mode, LibraryBrowser.LBStandalone, show, hide, getPosition, setPosition, and refresh.

When you use slLibraryBrowser to get the object handle:

• If the Library Browser is open in standalone mode, the Library Browser window moves in front of all other Simulink windows.

• If the Library Browser is not open in standalone mode, the Library Browser opens in standalone mode.

Note

You can also use LibraryBrowser.LibraryBrowser2 to create and get the handle of the Library Browser object. LibraryBrowser.LibraryBrowser2 does not open a Library Browser in standalone mode or move the Library Browser in front of other Simulink windows.

slLibraryBrowser('open') opens the Library Browser in standalone mode.

slLibraryBrowser('noshow') loads the Library Browser in memory without making it visible.  Use this to make future calls to slLibraryBrowser('open') faster.

slLibraryBrowser('close') closes the Library Browser in standalone mode.

Examples

Open and Close Library Browser in Standalone Mode

slLibraryBrowser
slLibraryBrowser('close')

Limitations

Version History

Introduced in R2016a

R2016b: LibraryBrowser.LBStandalone object replaces LibraryBrowser.LibraryBrowser2 object

In previous releases, these two commands returned a LibraryBrowser.LibraryBrowser2 object:

lb = slLibraryBrowser
lb = LibraryBrowser.LibraryBrowser2

Starting in R2016b, each command returns a LibraryBrowser.LBStandalone object. The functions to access Library Browser operations such as show and refresh support LibraryBrowser.LBStandalone objects.
