Stateflow User's Guide

Creating and Destroying API Objects

You create (construct), parent (contain), and delete (destroy) objects in Stateflow through constructor methods in the Stateflow API. For all but the Editor and Clipboard objects, creating objects establishes a handle to them that you can use for accessing their properties and methods to make modifications to Stateflow diagrams. See the following sections:

• Creating Stateflow Objects -- Shows you how to create and connect to Stateflow objects in the Stateflow API.
• Establishing an Object's Parent (Container) -- Shows you how to control the containment of graphical objects in the Stateflow diagram editor.

• Stateflow objects are contained (parented) by other objects as defined in the Stateflow hierarchy of objects (see Stateflow API Object Hierarchy). You control containment of nongraphical objects in the Stateflow Explorer.

• Destroying Stateflow Objects -- Shows you how to delete objects in the Stateflow API.
