systemcomposer.profile.Style

Style for stereotype

Since R2026a

Description

A Style object represents stereotype styles in a profile for a System Composer™ model.

Creation

Add a stereotype to a profile using the addStereotype function. Then, modify the ElementStyle property of the Stereotype object using a Style object.

profile = systemcomposer.profile.Profile.createProfile("profileName");
addStereotype(profile,"stereotypeName");

Properties

ParentStereotype — Stereotype from which style inherits properties

stereotype object

Stereotype from which style inherits properties, specified as a systemcomposer.profile.Stereotype object.

Color — Element color

1-by-3 uint32 row vector

Element color, specified as a 1-by-3 uint32 row vector in the form [Red Green Blue].

Example: [206 232 246]

Data Types: uint32

LineStyle — Connector line style

character vector | string

Connector line style, specified as a character vector or string. Options include:

• "Default"

• "Dot"

• "Dash"

• "Dash Dot"

• "Dash Dot Dot"

This property is valid only for connector stereotypes.

Data Types: char | string

Icon — Icon name for stereotype

string

Icon name for stereotype, specified as a string. Options include:

• "default"

• "application"

• "channel"

• "controller"

• "database"

• "devicedriver"

• "memory"

• "network"

• "plant"

• "sensor"

• "subsystem"

• "transmitter"

This property is only valid for component stereotypes. Use the AppliesTo property to set the element a stereotype applies to.

Data Types: string

Examples

Set Component Stereotype Color and Icon

Create a profile for latency characteristics, and save the profile.

profile = systemcomposer.profile.Profile.createProfile("LatencyProfile");

latencybase = profile.addStereotype("LatencyBase");
latencybase.addProperty("latency",Type="double");
latencybase.addProperty("dataRate",Type="double",DefaultValue="10");

connLatency = profile.addStereotype("ConnectorLatency",...
Parent="LatencyProfile.LatencyBase");
connLatency.addProperty("secure",Type="boolean");
connLatency.addProperty("linkDistance",Type="double");

nodeLatency = profile.addStereotype("NodeLatency",...
Parent="LatencyProfile.LatencyBase");
nodeLatency.addProperty("resources",Type="double",DefaultValue="1");

portLatency = profile.addStereotype("PortLatency",...
Parent="LatencyProfile.LatencyBase");
portLatency.addProperty("queueDepth",Type="double");
portLatency.addProperty("dummy",Type="int32");

profile.save

Specify the LatencyProfile.NodeLatency stereotype as a component stereotype.

nodeLatency.AppliesTo = "Component";

Get the systemcomposer.profile.Style object from the nodeLatency stereotype. Then, apply a stereotype color and icon to the Style object.

nodeLatency.ElementStyle.Color = [0 100 255];
nodeLatency.ElementStyle.Icon = "application";
profile.save

Any components with the nodeLatency stereotype are styled with the specified color and icon.

Create a model, apply the profile to the model, and add a component. Apply the stereotype on the component. Then, open the Profile Editor.

modelName = "archModel";
arch = systemcomposer.createModel(modelName);
systemcomposer.openModel(modelName);
arch.applyProfile("LatencyProfile");
newComponent = addComponent(arch.Architecture,"Component");
newComponent.applyStereotype("LatencyProfile.NodeLatency");
systemcomposer.profile.editor(profile)

Definitions

Term	Definition	Application	More Information
Stereotype	Stereotypes provide a mechanism to extend the core language elements and add domain-specific metadata.	Apply stereotypes to core element types. An element can have multiple stereotypes. Stereotypes allow you to style different elements. Stereotypes provide elements with a common set of properties, such as mass, cost, and power.	Define Stereotypes and Perform Analysis for Mobile Robot Extend Architectural Design Using Stereotypes Change Stereotypes Based on Stereotype Hierarchy in Portable Blender Architecture
Property	A property is a field in a stereotype. You can specify property values for each element to which the stereotype is applied.	Use properties to store quantitative characteristics, such as weight or speed, that are associated with a model element. Properties can also be descriptive or represent a status. You can view and edit the properties of each element in the architecture model using the Property Inspector. For more information, see Use Property Inspector in System Composer.	Set Properties Add Properties with Stereotypes Set Properties for Analysis
Profile	A profile is a package of stereotypes.	You can use profiles to create a domain of specialized element types. Author profiles and apply profiles to a model using the Profile Editor. You can store stereotypes for a project in one or several profiles. When you save profiles, they are stored in XML files.
