getDataType

Get data type in Architectural Data section of Simulink data dictionary

Since R2023b

Syntax

dataTypeObj = getDataType(archDataObj,dataTypeName)

Description

dataTypeObj = getDataType(archDataObj,dataTypeName) returns the data type object in archDataObj, the Architectural Data section of a data dictionary, that represents the data type specified by dataTypeName.

Examples

Get Data Type from Architectural Data Section of Simulink Data Dictionary

To get the data type object that represents a data type in a data dictionary, use the getDataType function. For an example that shows more of the workflow for related functions, see Create Architectural Data Object and Use It to Configure Architectural Data.

myColorObj = getDataType(archDataObj,"myColor")

myColorObj = 

  EnumType with properties:

            Name: 'myColor'
     Description: ''
    DefaultValue: 'enum1'
     StorageType: 'Native Integer'
       Enumerals: [1×1 Simulink.dictionary.archdata.Enumeral]
           Owner: [1×1 Simulink.dictionary.ArchitecturalData]

Get the AliasType object specified by the myAliasType1 data type name in the archDataObj object.

myAliasType1Obj = getDataType(archDataObj,'myAliasType1')

myAliasType1Obj = 

  AliasType with properties:

           Name: 'myAliasType1'
       BaseType: 'double'
    Description: ''
          Owner: [1×1 Simulink.dictionary.ArchitecturalData]
