    Description

    Use the Stateflow.Editor object to access the graphical aspects of a Stateflow® chart or state transition table. You can use the Stateflow.Editor object to control the position, size, and magnification level of the Stateflow Editor window.

    Creation

    Each chart has its own Stateflow.Editor object. When you create a chart, an Stateflow.Editor object is automatically created for it. To access the Stateflow.Editor object, use the Editor property for the chart. For example, if ch is a Stateflow.Chart or Stateflow.StateTransitionTableChart object, enter:

    editor = ch.Editor;

    Properties

    Stateflow API objects have properties that correspond to the values you set in the Stateflow Editor. To access or modify a property, use dot notation. To access or modify multiple properties for multiple API objects, use the get and set functions, respectively. For more information, see Modify Properties and Call Functions of Stateflow Objects.

    Position and size of the Stateflow editor window, specified as a four-element numeric vector of the form [left top width height].

    Magnification level of the chart or state transition table in the editor, specified as a scalar value between 0.5 and 10. A value of 1 corresponds to a magnification of 100%.
