ABSTRACT

The Context menu is extended to allow the user to right-click on a diagram item, and based upon the location of the mouse cursor at the point of menu invocation, the appropriate context-speciŸc functional operation occurs. A Numerical Solver dialog is added to the project that allows the user to set numerical solver properties that are used in model computation, and the dialog is invoked either through the use of the Numerical Solver entry of the Simulation menu, a Common Operations toolbar button, or quite easily via the Set Properties entry of the Context menu when the user right-clicks an empty portion of the palette. In addition, the Set Properties entry invokes functions to allow the user to set the properties of blocks and connections. A Delete Grouped Items entry is added to the Context and Edit menus, which allows the user to delete a selection of previously circumscribed items on the palette. The Context-menu-based approach allows for a more efŸcient usage of the DiagramEng application modeling features.
