Hey everyone,
we want to make our simulink models more visually appealing and useful for presentations. Hence I want to give blocks certain shapes. Like have a subsystem being triangular (alike the gain block) to visualize its functionalities.
How do I adjust the shape of a simulink subsystem block? As there are various blocks deviating from the rectangular standard, it musst be possible. But, much to my supprise i could not find any material on it using google.
Any help is appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
it is possible to create any shape by using the "Icon drawing commands" of the Mask Editor.
A triangular shape can be achieved by the commands shown below:

I do not think it is possible to give subsystems an other shape than rectangular. It could conflict with the positioning of the in- and output ports.
What you can do, is use a mask image on a subsystem. Right click on a subsystem, and go to 'Mask' and then 'Add icon image...'. This way you can add your own symbols and images on the subsystem block.

All models are beautiful, useful and valuable regardless of origin shape or color, I demand freedom of choice! ;)

Yes, that's why models with grey rectangular blocks are beautiful, useful and valuable as well :-)

Doesnt explain why I am limited to them ;) Regardless, I am for now working with your image approach until someone finds another way. Or the Matlab staff tells me it is not possible (and why so)
