Dials & Gauges Blockset

Printing the Model

You can print the structure of the model by choosing Print from the model window's File menu. Note that the printing functionality in Simulink does not print the active areas of Dials & Gauges Blockset blocks. Instead, it shows only the outline of those blocks.

To capture the exact appearance of a model that contains Dials & Gauges Blockset blocks, you can create a .bmp file that represents the model by entering either of these commands in the MATLAB Command Window.

• print -smodelname -dbitmap filename
  print(['-s','modelname'],'-dbitmap','filename')
  

Here, modelname and filename list the names of the Simulink model and the bitmap file, respectively. For example, if the open model is called sample, then this command saves it in a file called samplepic.bmp.

• print -ssample -dbitmap samplepic
  

After MATLAB creates the bitmap file, you can insert it into an application that can print it.
