Stateflow

Creating Chart Libraries

A Stateflow chart library is a Simulink block library that contains Stateflow Chart blocks (and, optionally, other types of Simulink blocks as well). Just as Simulink libraries serve as repositories of commonly used blocks, chart libraries serve as repositories of commonly used charts.

You create a chart library in the same way you create other types of Simulink libraries. First, create an empty chart library by selecting Library from the New submenu of Simulink's File menu. Then create or copy Chart blocks into the library just as you would create or copy Chart blocks into a Stateflow model.

You use chart libraries in the same way you use other types of Simulink libraries. To include a chart from a library in your Stateflow model, copy or drag the chart from the library to the model. Simulink creates a link from the instance in your model to the instance in the library. This allows you to update all instances of the chart simply by updating the library instance.

Note    Events parented by a library Stateflow machine are invalid. Stateflow allows you to define such events but flags them as errors when parsing a model.
