Stateflow.State (Stateflow User's Guide)

Constructor for creating a state

Syntax

```
state_new = Stateflow.State(parent)
```

Description

The Stateflow.State method is a constructor method for creating a state for a parent chart, state, box, or function, that returns a handle the State object for the new state.

Arguments

parent
Handle to the object for the parent chart, state, box, or function for the new state

`parent`	Handle to the object for the parent chart, state, box, or function for the new state

Returns

state_new
Handle to State object for newly created state

`state_new`	Handle to State object for newly created state

Example

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

```
state_new = Stateflow.State(sA)
```

The new state appears in the upper left-hand corner of state A in the diagram editor. state_new is a handle to the State object for the new state that you use to rename the state, set its properties, and execute its methods.
