What Is Stateflow?

Stateflow is a powerful graphical design and development tool for complex control and supervisory logic problems. Using Stateflow you can:

Stateflow allows you to use flow diagram notation and state transition notation seamlessly in the same Stateflow diagram. Flow diagram notation is essentially logic represented without the use of states. In some cases, using flow diagram notation is a closer representation of the system's logic and avoids the use of unnecessary states. Flow diagram notation is an effective way to represent common code structures like for loops and if-then-else constructs.

Stateflow also provides clear, concise descriptions of complex system behavior using finite state machine theory, flow diagram notations, and state-transition diagrams. Stateflow brings system specification and design closer together. It is easy to create designs, consider various scenarios, and iterate until the Stateflow diagram models the desired behavior.
