Simulink.Mask.copy

Copy a mask from one block to another

Syntax

pSource = Simulink.Mask.get(srcBlockName)

pDest = Simulink.Mask.create(destBlockName)

pDest.copy(pSource)

pSource = Simulink.Mask.get(srcBlockName) gets the mask on the source block specified by srcBlockName as a mask object.

pDest = Simulink.Mask.create(destBlockName) creates an empty mask on the destination block specified by destBlockName.

pDest.copy(pSource) overwrites the destination mask with the source mask.

Step 1: Create an empty mask on the destination block using the block’s path.

new_system('mymodel');
add_block('built-in/subsystem','mymodel/subsystem');
open_system('mymodel');
pDest=Simulink.Mask.create('mymodel/subsystem');

Step 2: Get source mask as an object using the source block’s path.

add_block('built-in/gain','mymodel/gain');
Simulink.Mask.create('mymodel/gain');
pSource = Simulink.Mask.get('mymodel/gain');

Step 3: Make the destination mask a copy of the source mask.

pDest.copy(pSource);
save_system;

Handle to the source block or the path to the source block inside the model is specified as character vector.

Data Types: char | string

The handle to the destination block or the path to the destination block inside the model.

Note

The destination block should have an empty mask. Otherwise, the copied mask will overwrite the non-empty mask.

Data Types: char | string

Mask object of the source block.

Note

The destination block should have an empty mask. Otherwise, the copied mask will overwrite the non-empty mask.
