simulinkproject is not recommended. Use currentProject or openProject instead. For more information, see Compatibility Considerations.

Syntax

category = findCategory(proj,categoryName)

Description

example

category = findCategory(proj,categoryName) returns the project category specified by categoryName. You need to get a category before you can use createLabel or removeLabel.

Examples

collapse all

Open the airframe project and create a project object.

sldemo_slproject_airframe;
proj = simulinkproject;

Use findCategory to get a category of labels by name.

category = findCategory(proj,'Classification')

category = 

  Category with properties:

                Name: 'Classification'
            DataType: 'none'
    LabelDefinitions: [1x8 slproject.LabelDefinition]]

Alternatively, you can examine categories by index. Get the first category.

proj.Categories(1)
ans = 

  Category with properties:

                Name: 'Classification'
            DataType: 'none'
    LabelDefinitions: [1x8 slproject.LabelDefinition]

Find out what you can do with the category.
