Changing the size and position of the simulink block

How can I change the position and size of the simulink block from the matlab command window?

sys = 'testmodel';

new_system(sys);

load_system(sys);

add_block('Simulink/Commonly Used Blocks/Subsystem',[sys '/subsystem])

add_block('builtin/Outport','testmodel/ouput1','MakeNameUnique','on')

now i have created one subsystem and one outport.

what are the commands i need to use for changing the model size and position of the block?

Thanks a lot

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

set_param('Model_Name/Block_Name','Position',[50 50 200 100])

How do we change the Size of the Block or Subsytem through set_param

[Murugan C]

sub_systm = find_system(gcs,'BlockType','Subsystem'); size_blk = get_param(sub_systm{1},'Position'); X = size_blk(1,1); Y = size_blk(1,2); Width = size_blk(1,3); Height = size_blk(1,4); set_param(sub_systm{1},'Position',[X Y X+Width Y+Height]);

hi plz how to get the position of block in model !!

[Nabil akroud | نبيــل عكرود]

by using get_param

• get_param(Object,Parameter)

for example, the following code will open the vdp example and will give you the position of the gain block (Mu) inside it:

open_system('vdp')
get_param('vdp/Mu','position')

[Abdelghafar Elkhaoui]

@Slimeni Omar to get the position of any block in simulink model :

get_param('Model_Name/Block_Name','Position')

@Slimeni Omar

You need to use following command:

get_param(pathOfsystem, 'Position')

this will retuen you a 1X4 matrix in which positions will be stored in a manner [X Y Width Height]

It's actually a: vector of coordinates, in pixels: [left top right bottom]
