Getting Position of Simulink Blocks

[Smitan Brahmbhatt]

How do we know Position of simulink block via .m script?

for the program below:

a=find_system(gcs,'LoadFullyIfNeeded','off','BlockType','Logic')
b=length(a)

for i=1:b
c=get_param(a(i),'Operator')
p=get_param(a(i),'Position')
end

P is returning answer as [1x4 double]. But how do can we find exact digits in this array?

and what exactly those digit indicates? Are they indicates co-ordinates of diagonal points?

Hi,

Yes. They are co-ordinates of diagonal points.

From the doc at

http://www.mathworks.com/help/toolbox/simulink/slref/f23-7517.html

Position returns a "vector of coordinates (in pixels) not enclosed in quotation marks: [left top right bottom]". Note: The origin is located in the upper left corner of the model window. The maximum value for a coordinate is 32767.

Read the entry for Position in the table on this page. It describes what
each of the elements in that vector represents.
