Stateflow

Creating Boxes

Stateflow allows you to use graphical entities called boxes to organize your diagram visually. To create a box, first create a superstate containing the objects to be boxed. Then, select Box from the superstate's Type shortcut menu. Stateflow converts the superstate to a box, redrawing its border with sharp corners to indicate its changed status.

Boxes are primarily graphical entities. They do not correspond to any real element of a state machine. However, boxes do affect the activation order of a diagram's parallel states. In particular, a box wakes up before any parallel states or boxes that are lower down or to the right of the box in the diagram. Within a box, parallel states still wake up in top down, right-to-left order.

You can group and ungroup boxes and hide or show them in the same way you hide or show states. See Grouping States and Working with Subcharts for more information.
