diagram()

Visualization

diagram() is a MATLAB®-compatible visualization function for auto-generate a block diagram from control system connections. shows transfer function blocks, summing junctions, branch points, and signal flow arrows. works with series(), feedback(), and sl_parallel() connections. the connection tree is recorded automatically — just build a system and call diagram(). Run it online in your browser with SimLab — free, no install, no license required.

Syntax

diagram(sys)
diagram(feedback(series(G1, G2), H))

Examples — run diagram() in your browser

G = tf([1], [1 2]);
C = tf([10 5], [1 0]);
sys = feedback(series(C, G), tf([1],[1]));
diagram(sys)
▶ Run
G1 = tf([1], [1 2]);
G2 = tf([3], [1 0 4]);
H = tf([1 0], [1 5]);
sys = feedback(series(G1, G2), H);
diagram(sys)
▶ Run

What does diagram() do?

Auto-generate a block diagram from control system connections. Shows transfer function blocks, summing junctions, branch points, and signal flow arrows. Works with series(), feedback(), and sl_parallel() connections. The connection tree is recorded automatically — just build a system and call diagram(). It is a MATLAB®-compatible visualization function available in SimLab with the same calling syntax as MATLAB® — typically: diagram(sys).

Can I run diagram() in my browser?

Yes. Open SimLab at simulations4all.com/simlab, write or paste code that calls diagram(), and run it. Execution happens locally in your browser — no data leaves your machine.
