Abstract: A system and method that includes line connection navigation in a block diagram by highlighting connections through navigable blocks in the diagram, edit-time label propagation along connections and through navigable blocks that can propagate labels through their ports, API to define navigability between block ports, and displaying implied connections between blocks.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for generating code from a graphical model in a graphical modeling environment. The graphical model includes at least one signal having a data size, a data dimensionality, or both that can vary from a first time instance to a second time instance as the model executes. The size and dimensionality of the signal can vary without the use of a graphically rendered connection to convey the size and dimension information to a block associated with the signal. The generated code includes the attributes of the signal.

Abstract: A programming element is provided that defines model attributes in response to mode change events in a graphical modeling environment. Such definition may involve any signal attribute such as dimensions, data types, complexity and sample times. Events that trigger definition of model attributes may be explicit signaling events generated by other elements, elements within the block diagram programming environment, and elements external from the environment. Implicit events may also trigger definition of model attributes, such as a change of attribute in an input signal.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to generate code to represent a graphical model formed of multiple graphical modeling components and at least one variable-sized signal is presented. Each variable-sized signal is represented using a size-vector in the generated code. The generated code is optimized by representing multiple variable-sized signals with the same size-vector such that at least two variable-sized signals share a size-vector in the generated code. The size of the variable-sized signal is capable of changing during the execution of the graphical model. The method and apparatus also identifies the owners of the variable-sized signals.

Abstract: Graphical programming or modeling environments, such as a block diagram environment, are disclosed in which graphical programs or models are configured using handshaking communication between entities of the graphical programs or models. The graphical programming or modeling environments provide mechanisms for the handshaking configuration of graphical programs/models before the graphical programs/models are executed in the graphical programming/modeling environments.
