App designer Simulink model as Tree

I want to make a GUI with the app designer.

I would like to have an tree like the one from the SLRT explorer where you can see all your Subsystems etc. of your simulink model.

How can I do that or how can i approach that?

Thank you very much

Hi Svenh,

To create a GUI with a tree-like structure similar to the SLRT explorer in MATLAB's App Designer, you can follow these general steps:

Create the UI Layout:

Open MATLAB and go to the "APPS" tab and select "App Designer". Design the layout of your app using the drag-and-drop interface. You can add a tree component from the "Component Library" to the UI.

Populate the Tree:

Once you have added the tree component, you can populate it with the data you want to display. In this case, you can populate it with the subsystems of your Simulink model. You can use the uitree component in App Designer to create a hierarchical tree structure.

Interactivity:

You can make the tree interactive by adding callbacks to handle events such as selecting a node in the tree. For example, when a user selects a subsystem in the tree, you can display information about that subsystem elsewhere in the app.

Here's a simple example of how you can create a tree in App Designer:

% In App Designer, you can use the following code to create a simple tree structure

function createUIComponents(app)
    % Create a tree
    app.UITree = uitree(app.UIFigure);
    app.UITree.Position = [10 10 200 200];
    
    % Create nodes
    root = uitreenode(app.UITree, 'Text', 'Root');
    child1 = uitreenode(root, 'Text', 'Child 1');
    child2 = uitreenode(root, 'Text', 'Child 2');
    child3 = uitreenode(root, 'Text', 'Child 3');
end

In this example, UITree is a property of the app that represents the tree component. You can then populate the tree with nodes and sub-nodes to represent your Simulink model's structure.

This is a basic example, and you'll need to modify it to fit your specific needs and integrate it with Simulink to display your model's subsystems.

Here is a link to the documentation for UI Tree for further details.

Hope this helps!
