Simulink.sdi.getPosition

Get position and size of Simulation Data Inspector

Since R2022b

Syntax

pos = Simulink.sdi.getPosition

Description

pos = Simulink.sdi.getPosition returns a four-element vector in the form [left bottom width height] indicating the position and size of the Simulation Data Inspector window. If the Simulation Data Inspector is not open, Simulink.sdi.getPosition returns [0 0 0 0].

Examples

Change Position of Simulation Data Inspector

This example shows you how to change the position and size of the Simulation Data Inspector window. First, open the Simulation Data Inspector.

Simulink.sdi.view

Set the Simulation Data Inspector window to be:

• 800 pixels wide

• 500 pixels high

• 200 pixels from the left edge of your primary display

• 60 pixels from the bottom of your primary display

pos = [200 60 800 500];
Simulink.sdi.setPosition(pos)

Alternatively, you can move and resize the Simulation Data Inspector manually. To use this placement in future simulations, retrieve the position vector using the function Simulink.sdi.getPosition.

newPos = Simulink.sdi.getPosition

newPos = 1×4

   200    60   800   500

Output Arguments

pos — Position and size of Simulation Data Inspector

[left bottom width height]

Position and size of the Simulation Data Inspector window, specified as a four-element vector in the form [left bottom width height]. All measurements have units of pixels.

Element	Description
left	Distance from the left edge of the primary display to the inner-left edge of the window. This value can be negative on systems that have more than one monitor.
bottom	Distance from the bottom edge of the primary display to the inner-bottom edge of the window. This value can be negative on systems that have more than one monitor.
width	Distance between the right and left inner edges of the window.
height	Distance between the top and bottom inner edges of the window.
