Navigate Web Views

Display Web Views

To display Web views, you need a Web browser with support for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), implemented natively or through a plug-in. For detailed information on software requirements and limitations for using Web views, see the Simulink Report Generator Release Notes.

A Web view display consists of:

View the Current Layer

Display an example Web view of the Simulink Automatic Climate Control System demo model by typing the following commands at the MATLAB command prompt:

sldemo_auto_climatecontrol; 
slwebview(gcs)

As you move the mouse over the current layer, parameter names and values appear for each system, chart, block, and line. Use the mouse, menu commands, keyboard accelerators, and the arrow keys on your keyboard to pan and zoom within the current layer.

View Layers Below the Top Layer

Click a particular layer's subsystem or subchart to make it the current layer. The current layer is also selected in the treeview browser, and its subsystems or subcharts appear in the treeview browser hierarchically. If blocks in your current layer are linked to libraries, the Web view shows to which libraries they belong.

As you move the mouse over an exported subsystem or subchart, it is highlighted or the cursor changes, depending on which Web browser you are using. You also see the following visual cues that enable you to assess your location in the model quickly:

You can use the navigation buttons at the top left to view other layers.

View All Layers

Click the View all layers navigation button to view all layers in one window. The layers appear in the Web browser as thumbnail images. You can click a given layer to view details about it. Clicking the View all layers button again returns to the previous view.
