Stateflow.Event (Stateflow User's Guide)

Constructor for creating an event

Syntax

```
event_new = Stateflow.Event(parent)
```

Description

The Stateflow.Event method is a constructor method for creating an event for a parent machine, chart, state, box, or function, that returns a handle to an Event object for the new event.

Arguments

parent
Handle to parent machine, chart, state, box, or function of new event

`parent`	Handle to parent machine, chart, state, box, or function of new event

Returns

event_new
Handle to the Event object for the new event

`event_new`	Handle to the Event object for the new event

Example

If sA is a handle to a State object for an existing state A, the following command creates a new event parented (contained by) state A:

```
event_new = Stateflow.Event(sA)
```

The new event is named 'event' with an incremented suffix to distinguish additional creations . event_new is a handle to an Event object for the new event that you use to rename the event, set its properties, and execute Event methods for the event.
