isDerivedFrom

Determine whether stereotype is derived from base stereotype

Syntax

result = isDerivedFrom(derivedStereotype,baseStereotype)

Description

result = isDerivedFrom(derivedStereotype,baseStereotype) returns true if the stereotype derivedStereotype gets its base properties from the stereotype baseStereotype. Otherwise, the function returns false.

Examples

Compare Two Stereotypes

Create a profile for latency characteristics.

profile = systemcomposer.profile.Profile.createProfile("LatencyProfile");
latencybase  = addStereotype(profile,"LatencyBase");
latencyderived = addStereotype(profile,"LatencyDerived",Parent=latencybase);

Determine whether the stereotype latencyderived has its base stereotype set as latencybase.

result = isDerivedFrom(latencyderived,latencybase)

result =
  logical
   1

Input Arguments

stereotype object

Stereotype, specified as a systemcomposer.profile.Stereotype object.

baseStereotype — Stereotype

character vector | string | stereotype object

Stereotype, specified as a character vector or string in the form "<profile>.<stereotype>" or as systemcomposer.profile.Stereotype object.

Data Types: char | string | stereotype object

Output Arguments

result — True or false result

1 | 0

True or false result, returned as a 1 or 0 of data type logical.

Definitions

Term	Definition	Application	More Information
Stereotype	Stereotypes provide a mechanism to extend the core language elements and add domain-specific metadata.	Apply stereotypes to core element types. An element can have multiple stereotypes. Stereotypes allow you to style different elements. Stereotypes provide elements with a common set of properties, such as mass, cost, and power.	Define Stereotypes and Perform Analysis for Mobile Robot Extend Architectural Design Using Stereotypes Change Stereotypes Based on Stereotype Hierarchy in Portable Blender Architecture
Property	A property is a field in a stereotype. You can specify property values for each element to which the stereotype is applied.	Use properties to store quantitative characteristics, such as weight or speed, that are associated with a model element. Properties can also be descriptive or represent a status. You can view and edit the properties of each element in the architecture model using the Property Inspector. For more information, see Use Property Inspector in System Composer.	Set Properties Add Properties with Stereotypes Set Properties for Analysis
Profile	A profile is a package of stereotypes.	You can use profiles to create a domain of specialized element types. Author profiles and apply profiles to a model using the Profile Editor. You can store stereotypes for a project in one or several profiles. When you save profiles, they are stored in XML files.
