Programmatically add annotation with a table to simulink

Hey all,

I'm trying to add an annotation to a Simulink model which includes a table. However, no reference code has been found yet.

Hello @Wei

As of now, there is no built-in function to insert actual table objects into Simulink annotations programmatically. However, it is quite convenient to manually insert a table as an annotation by double clicking anywhere on the canvas and selecting “Create Annotation”, and using the “Insert Table” option.

Alternatively, you can simulate a table by formatting annotation text. Following is a sample code snippet for the same:

annotationText = sprintf(['Parameter    Value\n', ...
                          '---------    -----\n', ...
                          'Gain         5\n', ...
                          'Offset       2']);

% Add the annotation to the model
a = Simulink.Annotation(model, annotationText);

You can refer to the following documentation links for more details on how to add annotations:

Hope this helps!
