- Create an image that includes the equation you want to display.
- Save the image in a suitable format, such as PNG, JPEG.
- Open the 'Mask Editor' for the block in your model to create the mask icon.
- In the 'Mask Editor', go to the 'Icon' tab.

How to display simple fraction on a Simulink mask?

I want to display a simple equation, containing a fraction (
) on the Simulink mask icon.
![](https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/1527571/image.png)
In a plot I could do it with the following code:
text(0.5, 0.5, '$\alpha = \frac{\Delta T}{RC+\Delta T}$', 'interp','latex');
Unfortunatelly Simulink does not support LaTeX, only TeX interpreter, so the text and disp functions are limited.
Is there any way to do this?

Hi Bence,
I understand that you are not able to set up the desired mask icon of the expression for the block as Simulink doesnot support LaTeX editor. I encountered a similar issue, and as a workaround I used the image representation of the desired expression as the Simulink mask icon.
To represent the expression by image as a mask icon please follow these steps:
image('img.png');
6. Replace 'img.png' with the actual path of the image created in step 1 and save the Mask.
I hope it helps!
