Syntax

grid = Simulink.sdi.getGridOn

Description

grid = Simulink.sdi.getGridOn returns the grid configuration for time plots in the Simulation Data Inspector. By default, the Simulation Data Inspector shows horizontal and vertical grid lines.

Open Live Script

You can use Simulink.sdi.setGridOn to configure the appearance of the grid for time plots in the Simulation Data Inspector. By default, the Simulation Data Inspector shows horizontal and vertical grid lines.

This example starts by showing how to use Simulink.sdi.getGridOn to access the current grid configuration. The subsequent sections show the code for each configuration option for time plot grid in the Simulation Data Inspector. To see the result, the example uses a Simulink.sdi.CustomSnapshot object to specify settings for the output of the Simulink.sdi.snapshot function.

snapSettings = Simulink.sdi.CustomSnapshot;
snapSettings.Width = 300;
snapSettings.Height = 300;

Get Initial Grid Setting

Before modifying the grid display preferences, you can save the current configuration to a variable in the workspace in case you want to restore the preferences later. 

gridInit = Simulink.sdi.getGridOn;

Configure Horizontal Grid Lines

Show only horizontal grid lines in the Simulation Data Inspector.

Simulink.sdi.setGridOn('horizontal')
Simulink.sdi.snapshot('from','custom','settings',snapSettings);

Figure contains an axes object. The hidden axes object contains an object of type image.

Configure Vertical Grid Lines

Show only vertical grid lines in the Simulation Data Inspector.

Simulink.sdi.setGridOn('vertical')
Simulink.sdi.snapshot('from','custom','settings',snapSettings);

Figure contains an axes object. The hidden axes object contains an object of type image.

Configure No Grid Lines

Show no grid lines in the Simulation Data Inspector.

Simulink.sdi.setGridOn('off')
Simulink.sdi.snapshot('from','custom','settings',snapSettings);

Figure contains an axes object. The hidden axes object contains an object of type image.

Configure Horizontal and Vertical Grid Lines

Show horizontal and vertical grid lines in the Simulation Data Inspector.

Simulink.sdi.setGridOn('on')
Simulink.sdi.snapshot('from','custom','settings',snapSettings);

Figure contains an axes object. The hidden axes object contains an object of type image.
