Using Simulink    

Printing a Block Diagram

You can print a block diagram by selecting Print from the File menu (on a Microsoft Windows system) or by using the print command in the MATLAB command window (on all platforms).

On a Microsoft Windows system, the Print menu item prints the block diagram in the current window.

Print Dialog Box

When you select the Print menu item, the Print dialog box appears. The Print dialog box enables you to selectively print systems within your model. Using the dialog box, you can print

The portion of the Print dialog box that supports selective printing is similar on supported platforms. This figure shows how it looks on a Microsoft Windows system. In this figure, only the current system is to be printed.

When you select either the Current system and below or All systems option, two check boxes become enabled. In this figure, All systems is selected.

Selecting the Look Under Mask Dialog check box prints the contents of masked subsystems when encountered at or below the level of the current block. When you are printing all systems, the top-level system is considered the current block, so Simulink looks under any masked blocks encountered.

Selecting the Expand Unique Library Links check box prints the contents of library blocks when those blocks are systems. Only one copy is printed regardless of how many copies of the block are contained in the model. For more information about libraries, see Working with Block Libraries.

The print log lists the blocks and systems printed. To print the print log, select the Include Print Log check box.

Selecting the Frame check box prints a title block frame on each diagram. Enter the path to the title block frame in the adjacent edit box. You can create a customized title block frame, using MATLAB's frame editor. See frameedit in the online MATLAB reference for information on using the frame editor to create title block frames.
