Note For information on new features in Stateflow Coder 4.1, software that

Release Notes.
Smart Transitions
Stateflow charts now include the graphical innovation of smart transitions
whose ends slide around the surfaces of states and junctions. When the source
and/or destination objects are moved and resized in the Stateflow chart, these
transitions use sliding and other behaviors to enable users to produce an
aesthetically pleasing diagram. See the section “Using Smart Transitions” in
Stateflow Help.
Note Transitions are automatically created with smart behavior on the
assumption that this behavior is almost always desirable. However, self-loop
transitions, must be created without smart transition behavior. See the
section “Creating Self-Loop Transitions” in online Help for instructions.
