R2026b

Display simulation progress bar in app

Since R2024a

    Description

    simprog = uisimprogress creates a simulation progress bar in a new figure and returns the SimulationProgress object. MATLAB® calls the uifigure function to create the figure.

    simprog = uisimprogress(p) creates a simulation progress bar in the specified parent container. The parent can be a Figure object or one of its child containers.

    simprog = uisimprogress(___,Name=Value) creates a simulation progress bar with properties specified by one or more name-value arguments.

    example

    Examples

    collapse all

    Add a simulation progress component to an app. Then, connect the component to a Simulation object.

    Create a simulation progress bar inside a panel in a UI figure.

    f = uifigure(Name="MyFigure");
    panel = uipanel(f);
    progressBar = uisimprogress(panel);

    To connect the progress bar to a simulation, specify the Simulation property. When the simulation runs, the progress bar displays simulation progress.

    mdl = "MyModel";
    sm = simulation(mdl);
    progressBar.Simulation = sm;

    Input Arguments

    collapse all

    Parent container, specified as a Figure object created using the uifigure function or one of its child containers, such as a Tab, Panel, or GridLayout object. If you do not specify a parent container, MATLAB calls the uifigure function to create a new Figure object that serves as the parent container.

    Name-Value Arguments

    collapse all

    Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

    Example: uisimprogress(Color="green")

    Note

    This section lists a subset of the available properties. For the full list, see SimulationProgress Properties.

    Color of the simulation progress bar, specified as an RGB triplet, a hexadecimal color code, or one of the color options listed in the table.

    RGB triplets and hexadecimal color codes are useful for specifying custom colors.

    • An RGB triplet is a three-element row vector whose elements specify the intensities of the red, green, and blue components of the color. The intensities must be in the range [0,1]; for example, [0.4 0.6 0.7].

    • A hexadecimal color code is a character vector or a string scalar that starts with a hash symbol (#) followed by three or six hexadecimal digits, which can range from 0 to F. The values are not case sensitive. Thus, the color codes "#FF8800", "#ff8800", "#F80", and "#f80" are equivalent.

    Alternatively, you can specify some common colors by name. This table lists the named color options, the equivalent RGB triplets, and hexadecimal color codes.
