Stateflow User's Guide

Creating a Transition

Use the following procedure for creating transitions between states and junctions:

1. Place the cursor on or close to the border of a source state or junction.

1. The cursor changes to crosshairs.

2. Click and drag a transition to a destination state or junction.
3. Release on the border of the destination state or junction.

1. Notice that the source of the transition sticks to the initial source point for the transition.

Attached transitions obey the following rules:

• Transitions do not attach to the corners of states. Corners are used exclusively for resizing.
• Transitions exit a source and enter a destination at angles perpendicular to the source or destination surface.
• Newly created transitions have smart behavior. See Setting Smart Behavior in Transitions.

To delete a transition, select it and choose Ctrl+X or Cut from the Edit menu, or press the Delete key.

See the following sections for help with creating self-loop and default transitions:
