Opening the Export Interface

You can export a model to a Web view using either a Simulink Report Generator dialog box or a Report Explorer pane.

To Open the export interface from ...	Use ...	Export interface opens as...
Report Explorer	Tools > Export to Web	Report Explorer
Simulink model window	File > Export to Web	Dialog box
Stateflow editor	File > Export to Web	Dialog box
Command line	The slwebview function, with no arguments	Report Explorer

Setting Export Options

You can set options that specify which Simulink systems or Stateflow charts to export to a Web view, including:

• Whether to export Simulink systems or Stateflow charts that include (or are children of) the current system or chart. For more information, see Include Systems.

• Which masked blocks, if any, to include. For more information, see Look Under Masks.

• Whether to follow links to library blocks. For more information, see Follow Library Links.

• Whether to follow model reference blocks. For more information, see Follow Model Reference Blocks.

Tip   This section describes how to specify Web view export options using the Web Views dialog box. For information about how to specify these options using the command line, see the slwebview function reference page.

Include Systems

Specifies which Simulink systems or Stateflow charts to export.

Include Systems Option Value	Meaning
Current	Export only the Simulink system that is open in the model window or the Stateflow chart that is open in the diagram editor
Current and above	Export the current Simulink system or Stateflow chart and all systems or charts that contain it
Current and below	Export the current Simulink system or Stateflow chart and all subsystems or subcharts that it contains
All (Default)	Export all Simulink systems or Stateflow charts in the model

Look Under Masks

This option is available only when you choose Current and below or All for Include Systems. It specifies which masked blocks, if any, to export from Simulink subsystems or Stateflow subcharts.

Look Under Masks Option Value	Meaning
No masked blocks	Do not export any masked blocks
Masks with no workspace and no dialog (Default )	Export only graphical masked blocks—those that have no workspaces and no dialog boxes
Masks with no dialog	Export only functional masked blocks—those that have no dialog boxes
All masked blocks	Export all masked blocks

Follow Library Links

Specifies whether to follow links into library blocks.

Follow Library Links Option Value	Meaning
Selected	Follow links into library blocks
Unselected (Default)	Do not follow links into library blocks

Follow Model Reference Blocks

Specifies whether to follow links into referenced models.

Follow model reference blocks Option Value	Meaning
true	Follow links into referenced models
false (Default)	Do not follow links into referenced models

Generating and Reviewing Web Views

The Web view export process exports the system or chart that is visible at the time you click Export Model. If you change the visible system or chart while the Report Explorer Web view export pane is visible, the Report Explorer pane does not automatically change to show information about the newly visible system. To update the Report Explorer pane, click Refresh.

The Web view export dialog box or the Report Explorer displays a list of layers—that is, Simulink systems or Stateflow charts—to export. The list of layers depends on the export options you specify, as described in Setting Export Options.

To generate a Web view of all layers in the model, click OK in the Web View dialog box, or click Export Model in the Report Explorer pane. This action generates two sets of files in the current MATLAB folder:

• An HTML file to appear in a Web browser.

• A folder with the same name as the HTML file. This folder contains supporting files, such as svg and png files.

To send the Web view to another computer, include both the HTML file and the folder of supporting files. Package these items into a zip file for transfer.

When you generate a Web view, it appears in a Web browser by default. You can suppress the display by setting the 'ViewFile' option to false.
