Properties

AliasedThroughDataType

Description

Data type aliases allow a data type (B) to be recursively aliased to another alias type or BaseType (A). If alias type A is aliased to another alias type that is aliased to another alias type and so forth, this property allows the alias type to be iteratively searched (aliased through) until the type is no longer an alias type and that final result is the value of the property returned. For example, assume that you have created the Simulink Alias types A and B as follows:

A=Simulink.AliasType('double') 
 
A = 
Simulink.AliasType
    Description: ''
     HeaderFile: ''
       BaseType: 'double'
B=Simulink.AliasType('A')

B = 
Simulink.AliasType
    Description: ''
     HeaderFile: ''
       BaseType: 'A'

If the data type of an item of block data is B, this property returns the base type A instead of B.
