Syntax

setWidths(customName, widths)

Description

setWidths(customName, widths) specifies possible widths that an slmetric.dashboard.CustomWidget object can have. You can specify up to four different widths. For the input argument widths, pass either one value or an array of four values. You can choose from these possible values:

  • slmetric.dashboard.Width.ExtraSmall — 2 columns wide

  • slmetric.dashboard.Width.Small — 4 columns wide

  • slmetric.dashboard.Width.Medium — 6 columns wide

  • slmetric.dashboard.Width.Large — 8 columns wide

  • slmetric.dashboard.Width.XLarge — 10 columns wide

  • slmetric.dashboard.Width.XXLarge — 12 columns wide

These values correspond to the different sizes that a custom widget can have as the screen size changes. If you specify one value, the widget always has that value regardless of the screen size. If you specify four different values, the widget size can change four times as you maximize and minimize the screen.

Note

The Metrics Dashboard layout is divided into 12 columns of equal size. When you add a new widget to an empty dashboard, the dashboard creates a new row with 12 columns. The dashboard adds widgets to the same row until the width of the widgets would exceed 12 columns. When the width would exceed 12 columns, the dashboard creates a new row. For example, if you have one widget with a width of slmetric.dashboard.Width.XXLarge, that widget uses all 12 columns in the row. If you have smaller widgets, the dashboard places those widgets on the same row until the widgets in the row reach the maximum width of 12.

Create a custom metric that counts nonvirtual blocks. Specify a widget to display this metric on the Metrics Dashboard. Add it to the Size Group.

Open the model vdp by entering:

openExample('simulink_general/VanDerPolOscillatorExample')

Create a custom metric class.

className = 'nonvirtualblockcount';
slmetric.metric.createNewMetricClass(className);

Create the nonvirtual block count metric by adding this code to the nonvirtualblockcount.m file.

classdef nonvirtualblockcount < slmetric.metric.Metric
    %nonvirtualblockcount calculates number of nonvirtual blocks per level.
    % BusCreator, BusSelector and BusAssign are treated as nonvirtual.

end

Register the new metric in the metric repository.

[id_metric,err_msg] = slmetric.metric.registerMetric(className);

To begin, open the default configuration for the Metrics Dashboard layout.

conf = slmetric.dashboard.Configuration.open();

Obtain the slmetric.dashboard.Layout object from the slmetric.dashboard.Configuration object.

layout = getDashboardLayout(conf);

Obtain widget objects that are in the layout object.

layoutWidget = getWidgets(layout);

Remove the widget that represents the Simulink block count metric.

sizeGroup = layoutWidget(2); 
sizeGroupWidgets = sizeGroup.getWidgets(); 
sizeGroup.removeWidget(sizeGroupWidgets(1));

Add a widget that displays the nonvirtual block count metric. For custom widgets, the default visualization type is single value. If you want to use a different visualization technique, specify a different value for the VisualizationType property.

newWidget = sizeGroup.addWidget('Custom', 1);
newWidget.Title = ('Nonvirtual Block Count'); 
newWidget.setMetricIDs('nonvirtualblockcount');
newWidget.setWidths(slmetric.dashboard.Width.Medium);
newWidget.setHeight(70);

Specify whether there are lines separating the custom widget from other widgets in the group. These commands specify that there is a line to the right of the widget.

s.top = false;
s.bottom = false;
s.left = false;
s.right = true;
newWidget.setSeparators([s, s, s, s]);

Save the configuration object. This command serializes the API information to an XML file.

save(conf,'Filename','DashboardConfig.xml');

Set the active configuration.

slmetric.dashboard.setActiveConfiguration(fullfile(pwd,'DashboardConfig.xml'));

Open the Metrics Dashboard for the model vdp.
