Using Simulink

Print Command

The format of the print command is

• print -ssys -device filename
  

sys is the name of the system to be printed. The system name must be preceded by the s switch identifier and is the only required argument. sys must be open or must have been open during the current session. If the system name contains spaces or takes more than one line, you need to specify the name as a string. See the examples below.

device specifies a device type. For a list and description of device types, see Using MATLAB Graphics.

filename is the PostScript file to which the output is saved. If filename exists, it is replaced. If filename does not include an extension, an appropriate one is appended.

For example, this command prints a system named untitled.

• print -suntitled
  

This command prints the contents of a subsystem named Sub1 in the current system.

• print -sSub1
  

This command prints the contents of a subsystem named Requisite Friction.

• print (['-sRequisite Friction'])
  

The next example prints a system named Friction Model, a subsystem whose name appears on two lines. The first command assigns the newline character to a variable; the second prints the system.

• cr = sprintf('\n');
  print (['-sFriction' cr 'Model'])
  

To print the currently selected subsystem, enter

• print(['-s', gcb])
