Simulink custom (non rectangular) Block Shapes
显示 更早的评论
Hey everyone,
we want to make our simulink models more visually appealing and useful for presentations. Hence I want to give blocks certain shapes. Like have a subsystem being triangular (alike the gain block) to visualize its functionalities.
How do I adjust the shape of a simulink subsystem block? As there are various blocks deviating from the rectangular standard, it musst be possible. But, much to my supprise i could not find any material on it using google.
Any help is appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
it is possible to create any shape by using the "Icon drawing commands" of the Mask Editor.
A triangular shape can be achieved by the commands shown below:

I do not think it is possible to give subsystems an other shape than rectangular. It could conflict with the positioning of the in- and output ports.
What you can do, is use a mask image on a subsystem. Right click on a subsystem, and go to 'Mask' and then 'Add icon image...'. This way you can add your own symbols and images on the subsystem block.

Avoid using image as block icon as it slows down model when every block has it.
Use icon drawing command in Mask to draw your shape. Make block frame "invisible" then you got it.

Click "Help" button on "Icon and Ports" tab.

Yes, that's why models with grey rectangular blocks are beautiful, useful and valuable as well :-)
