Simulink.MaskParameter.set

Set properties of mask parameters

    Description

    example

    maskobj.Parameters.set(Name,Value) sets the properties of a mask parameter.

    Examples

    collapse all

    1. Get mask as an object using a masked block’s path.

      maskobj = Simulink.Mask.get('setmaskparameter/Subsystem');
    2. Get mask parameter

      parameters = maskobj.Parameters(1);
    3. Edit mask parameter so it is of type popup, cannot be evaluated.

       maskobj.Parameters.set('Type','popup','TypeOptions',
      {'Red' 'Blue' 'Green'},'Evaluate','off')

    Input Arguments

    Name-Value Arguments

    Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

    Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose Name in quotes.

    Example: 'Type','edit'

    Type of parameter, specified as character vector.

    Data Types: char | string

    The options that are displayed within a popup or combobox or listbox parameter, specified as a cell array.

    Data Types: cell

    The name of the mask parameter, specified as a character vector. This name is assigned to the mask workspace variable created for this parameter.

    Data Types: char | string

    Display name for the mask parameter, specified as a character vector. This name appears as the label associated with the parameter on the mask dialog.

    Data Types: char | string

    The default value of the mask parameter in the Mask Parameters dialog. Type specific, depends on the Type of the parameter, specified as a character vector.

    Data Types: char | string

    Option to evaluate mask parameter, specified as a logical.

    Data Types: char

    Option to change the mask parameter during simulation, specified as character vector or string. The available options are:

    • off - you cannot change mask parameter values during simulation in this mode.

    • on - you can change the mask parameter value during simulation. Each time you make a change the model is compiled.

    • run-to-run - If the mask parameter is set to run-to-run in Fast Restart mode, the value can be changed between runs. The model is not recompiled to reflect the value in simulation results.

    Data Types: char

    Option to save the mask parameter value in the model file, specified as a logical.

    Data Types: char

    Option to hide the mask parameter in the mask dialog, specified as a logical.

    Data Types: char

    Option to edit the mask parameter in the mask dialog, specified as a logical.

    Data Types: char

    Option to enable the mask parameter in the mask dialog, specified as a logical.

    Data Types: char

    Option to show the mask parameter in the mask dialog, specified as a logical.

    Data Types: char

    Option to enable tooltips for the mask parameter, specified as a logical value.

    Data Types: char

    Callback code for the mask parameter, specified as a character vector. The callback code executes when a user changes the parameter value in the mask dialog box.

    Data Types: char

    Alternative name for the mask parameter is specified as character vector.

    Data Types: char | string

    Layout options for the parameter in the mask dialog, specified as a character vector or logical value. The location of the parameter in the mask dialog such as the row location, prompt location is specified. Additionally horizontal stretch or shrink of the mask parameter is also specified.
