Graphical Properties (Stateflow)

Graphical Properties
Graphical properties perform services that are presentational (graphic) only and do not affect the actual Stateflow structure of objects. Those graphical properties that do affect this underlying structure are included in the section Structural Properties.

See also Graphical Methods.

For a key to the abbreviations for object types in the Object column, see Reference Table Column Descriptions.
