text
Display text at specific location on masked subsystem icon
Syntax
text(x,y,'text') text(x,y,'text', 'horizontalAlignment','halign', 'verticalAlignment','valign') text(x,y, 'text', 'texmode', 'on')
Description
The text command places a character vector
at a location specified by the point (x,y) whose
units are defined by the Icon units option in
the Mask Editor.
text( allows you to use TeX formatting commands in x,y,
text, 'texmode', 'on')text. The TeX
formatting commands in turn allow you to include symbols and Greek letters in icon text. See
Interpreter for information on the TeX formatting
commands supported by Simulink® software.
You can optionally specify the horizontal and/or vertical alignment
of the text relative to the point (x, y) in the text command.
The text command offers the following horizontal
alignment options.
Option | Aligns |
|---|---|
| The left end of the text at the specified point |
| The right end of the text at the specified point |
| The center of the text at the specified point |
The text command offers the following vertical
alignment options.
Option | Aligns |
|---|---|
| The baseline of the text at the specified point |
| The bottom line of the text at the specified point |
| The midline of the text at the specified point |
| The capitals line of the text at the specified point |
| The top of the text at the specified point |
Note
While this text function is identical in
name to its corresponding MATLAB® function, it provides only the
functionality described on this page.
Examples
Text Alignment
Center the mask icon text foobar.
text(0.5, 0.5, 'foobar', 'horizontalAlignment', 'center')
Equation in Mask Icon
Draw a left-aligned equation as the mask icon.
In the Icons & Ports dialog of the Mask Editor, set Icon
units to Normalized.
In the Icon drawing commands text box, enter the following command.
text(.05,.5,'{\itEquation:} \Sigma \alpha^2 +
\beta^2 \rightarrow \infty, \Pi, \phi_3 = {\bfcool}',
'hor','left','texmode','on')
