Simulink Reference | ![]() ![]() |
Displays text at a specific location on the icon of a masked subsystem.
Syntax
text(x, y,text
) text(x, y,text
, 'horizontalAlignment', halign, 'verticalAlignment', valign) text(x, y,text, 'texmode', 'on'
)
Description
The text
command places a character string (text
or the contents of stringvariablename
) at a location specified by the point (x,y)
. The units depend on the Drawing coordinates parameter. For more information, see Icon Options" in the online Simulink documentation.
text(x,y, text, 'texmode', 'on')
allows you to use TeX formatting commands in text
. The TeX formatting commands in turn allow you to include symbols and Greek letters in icon text. See Mathematical Symbols, Greek Letters, and Tex Characters in the MATLAB documentation for information on the TeX formatting commands supported by Simulink.
You can optionally specify the horizontal and/or vertical alignment of the text relative to the point (x, y) in the text
command.
The text
command offers the following horizontal alignment options
Option |
Aligns |
left |
The left end of the text at the specified point |
right |
The right end of the text at the specified point |
center |
The center of the text at the specified point |
The text
command offers the following vertical alignment options
Note While this commands is identical in name to its corresponding MATLAB function, it provides only the functionality described above. |
Examples
text(.05,.5,'{\itEquation:} \Sigma \alpha^2 + \beta^2 \rightarrow \infty, \Pi, \phi_3 = {\bfcool}', 'hor','left','texmode','on')
draws a left-aligned equation on the icon.
