Simulink^® Models Can Be Exported as Web Views

You can now create a Web view of a Simulink^® model or Stateflow^® chart. A Web view is an interactive rendition of the model or chart that you can view in a Web browser. A Web view uses Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) to render and navigate a model.

Creating a Web view requires the Simulink^® Report Generator™ product. Using a Web view in a Web browser requires SVG support in the browser, implemented natively or through a plug-in, but it does not require The MathWorks™ products to be installed.

Because they require only Web browsers with widely available SVG support, Web views are useful for presenting models to audiences and for sharing models with colleagues who do not have The MathWorks products installed.

For details, see Exporting Simulink^® Models to Web Views in the Simulink Report Generator documentation.

Browser Requirements and Limitations

Web views in V3.0 (R2006a) are supported only in these Web browsers:

• Firefox Version 1.5 or later, which has native support for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). To obtain the Firefox browser, visit http://www.mozilla.com/.

• Microsoft^® Internet Explorer^® with the Adobe^® SVG Viewer plug-in. To obtain the SVG Viewer plug-in, visit http://www.adobe.com/svg/.

Web views have these limitations in Firefox:

• There is no shortcut menu.

• When you move the mouse over exported systems and diagrams, they are not highlighted, but the cursor changes.

• Fonts may be too large in some circumstances.

• Compressed SVG files are not supported.

Web views have these limitations in Internet Explorer with the SVG Viewer plug-in:

• In panning mode, the cursor does not change.

• On a Japanese Microsoft Windows^® system, you must edit the Windows registry to obtain Japanese text in menus. Define this key:

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe SVG Viewer\version\Locale

  substituting the version of your Adobe SVG Viewer plug-in for version. For example, if the plug-in version is 3.03, define this key:

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe SVG Viewer\3.03\Locale

  Then, define a string value for this key. The value name is systemLanguage, and the value data is ja.

Model Loop Component Reports on Libraries

The Model Loop component can now report on libraries. The Model Loop attribute pane in Report Explorer specifies which libraries to include in the report.

Model Advisor Results Reported by New Component

A new Model Advisor Report component runs Model Advisor and includes its report in the report you are generating.

User Interface and Performance Enhanced

The Report Explorer interface has a number of enhancements. The View menu has commands to increase and decrease font size and to show the message window if it is not displayed.

Simulink Report Generator performance has improved. Reports are often generated more rapidly and with less chance of running out of memory.

Empty Columns Removed from Summary Tables

Simulink Summary Table components now have an option to remove empty columns from the report. The option is selected by default.
