xcosAddToolsMenu("print plop", "disp(''plop'')");
xcosAddToolsMenu("print selected block", "disp(blk)");
xcosAddToolsMenu("print diagram", "disp(scs_m)");

// define a custom update function
function myUpdateFunction(blk, scs_m)
    execstr("[ok, blk] = " + blk.gui + "(''set'', blk);");
    xcosUpdateBlock(blk);
endfunction
xcosAddToolsMenu("update block", "myUpdateFunction(blk, scs_m)");
