Stateflow.exportToVersion

Export standalone chart for use in previous version of Stateflow

Since R2020a

Syntax

exported_file = Stateflow.exportToVersion(source,file_name,version)

Description

exported_file = Stateflow.exportToVersion(source,file_name,version) exports the chart source to a file named file_name in a format that the specified previous Stateflow^® version can load. You can only export to R2019a and later releases.

Examples

Export Chart to an Earlier Version of MATLAB

To complete the export process, you need access to the versions of Stateflow from which and to which you are exporting.

Using the later version of Stateflow, convert the standalone chart chart.sfx.

edit chart.sfx
Stateflow.exportToVersion("chart","chart_19a.sfx","R2019a")

Using the earlier version of Stateflow, open and resave the exported chart.

edit chart_19a.sfx
sfsave chart_19a
