Stateflow Programmatic Interface

Create and modify chart elements at the MATLAB^® command prompt

Programmatically create, edit, and simulate your Stateflow^® charts by using MATLAB commands. Access and edit the properties and methods, set positions, or copy and paste objects in your chart. Edit graphical properties by accessing the editor object.
