Entry Junction

R2026b

Entry junction that crosses state boundary of Stateflow chart

Description

An entry junction crosses the boundaries and hierarchy of Stateflow^® states. Entry junctions connect to entry ports on the state boundary. Use entry junctions to connect states at different levels of hierarchy in a chart, or to create transitions that cross hierarchy boundaries.

To add an entry to a chart:

1. In the Stateflow Editor, in the object palette, click the Entry icon .

2. Click a location inside a state or atomic subchart to place the entry junction. Stateflow places a matching entry port on the state boundary.

3. Type a label for the entry junction.

Properties

To edit graphical object properties interactively, right-click the object and select Properties.

To modify entry junction properties programmatically, use Stateflow.Port objects.
