MATLAB: Simulink model layout

Question

Hello all I have a matlab function which generates a simulink model for specific tasks, i.e, it instantiates blocks, ports and connects them. But the generated model does not look fine, so i have to manually place the blocks and ports. I need to do this in automated way and finally have some model layout. Any suggestion, please.

Thanks, Gagik

You can use the set_param command to programmatically set the position of a block:

   set_param('path/to/block', 'Position', [left, top, right, bottom])

The origin is located in the upper left corner of the model window.
