Abstract
A system and method that includes line connection navigation in a block diagram by highlighting connections through navigable blocks in the diagram, edit-time label propagation along connections and through navigable blocks that can propagate labels through their ports, API to define navigability between block ports, and displaying implied connections between blocks.
Claims24
A method comprising:
- in a block diagram model, tracing a signal connection through navigable blocks.
A method comprising:
- in a block diagram edit-phase, propagating a signal label through navigable blocks.
A method comprising:
- in a block diagram model, displaying an implied signal connection.
A Graphical User Interface (GUI) for displaying results from a signal navigation comprises:
- a first element that defines a highlighting contrast value for determining a contrast between a highlighted portion and a remainder of a block diagram model;
- and
- a second element that highlights non-navigable source blocks and non-navigable destination blocks.
