Modeling operations often perturb a model's layout. Layout readjustment is usually needed, and represents a tedious activity if performed manually. Although achieving a proper layout of a Simulink model is deemed very important, there does not exist a comprehensive commercial automatic layout tool for Simulink models. The Auto Layout Tool resizes models' blocks based on number of inputs and outputs, and organizes the signal lines such that the number of crossings is minimized. Auto Layout Tool can leverage three different layout approaches: 1) "Graphviz", a third-party open source tool for drawing graphs; 2) Matlab’s built-in "GraphPlot" layout capability; 3) an in-house "DepthBased" method. Approaches 1) and 3) can be utilized on any version of Matlab/Simulink, while approach 2) only works on R2015b+.

• For installation instructions and instructions on how to use the tool, see Auto-Layout/doc/AutoLayout_UserGuide.pdf.

• This tool relies on our Simulink Utility. Please download it here: https://github.com/McSCert/Simulink-Utility.

バージョン 公開済み リリース ノート
2.3

See release notes for this release on GitHub: https://github.com/McSCert/Auto-Layout/releases/tag/v2.3
2.2.2

– Minor edits to the Installation instructions in the User Guide.
– This tool does not currently support SimScape blocks. This is now mentioned in the User Guide.
2.2.1

– Corrected user guide path in tool description.
2.2

– Fixed various bugs that caused errors or resulted in poorer layouts.
– Added new "DepthBased" approach.
– Updated user guide.
– Added new command line options.
2.1

Fixed several bugs and improved line routing.
2.0.0.0

The Auto Layout Tool was tested with R2011b, R2016b, and R2017b.
– The tool can now use Matlab’s built-in layout engine
– Minor improvements have been made to resize blocks
– Annotations are now moved to a consistent location in the resulting model
1.6.1.0

Updated the "Other Requirements" text.
1.6.0.0

The tool uses Graphviz, which is a set of tools for drawing graphs (see the user guide for instructions on how to install/setup Graphviz). The Auto Layout Tool has been tested with R2011b, R2015a, R2015b, R2016a, and R2017a.
1.5.1.0

- Corrected the tool name
Updating formatting of description.
1.5.0.0

- Fixed issue with the Context Menu
1.4.0.0

- Addressed issue raised by Ganesh Hegade regarding closing of GUI windows.
- Updated the LineToGoto/From tool to the most recent version ("Line to Goto/From Tool" v1.0 on File Exchange)
- Removed unneeded command line output from Flatten Subsystem
1.3.0.0

Updating cover image. Removed a "Required Product" from the list.
Added transformations from a From/Goto connection to a signal line connection (and back), as well as a transformation that replaces a virtual subsystem with its content (subsystem flattening).
1.2.1.0

Added the function getAllLinePoints.m that was missing in the previous release to further improve upon the layout produced by the tool.
1.2.0.0

– Improved line routing, sizing of blocks, and spacing between blocks,
– Inputs and outputs are now moved to the left and right of a diagram, respectively, unless this increases the number of line crossings.
1.1.0.0

Now working on Linux and Mac OS X.
1.0.1.0

Added the cover figure for the tool.
1.0.0.0
