Syntax

Widths=getWidths(groupName)

Description

Widths=getWidths(groupName) returns an slmetric.dashboard.Width object array consisting of four enumerations. Use the slmetric.dashboard.Group.setWidths method to set the width sizes. You can set between one and four sizes. If you set just one size, the array contains four of the same enumerations. These are the possible enumeration values:

  • slmetric.dashboard.Width.ExtraSmall

  • slmetric.dashboard.Width.Small

  • slmetric.dashboard.Width.Medium

  • slmetric.dashboard.Width.Large

  • slmetric.dashboard.Width.XLarge

  • slmetric.dashboard.Width.XXLarge

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

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.

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.

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'));

For your model, open the Metrics Dashboard.
