    Syntax

    [tMin,tMax,yMin,yMax] = Simulink.sdi.getSubplotLimits(r,c)

    Description

    [tMin,tMax,yMin,yMax] = Simulink.sdi.getSubplotLimits(r,c) returns the t- and y-axis limits for the subplot at the specified location in the Simulation Data Inspector subplot layout.

    Open Live Script

    You can use the Simulink.sdi.getSubplotLimits and Simulink.sdi.setSubplotLimits functions to copy the axis limits from one subplot to another. For example, you can specify the same y-axis limits for two subplots that display the same signal from simulations that used different values of a model parameter. This example copies the y-axis settings from one subplot to another to analyze the effect of changing the value of Mu in the model vdp.

    Create the data in the Simulation Data Inspector by simulating the model vdp twice. The first time, specify the value of Mu as 1. For the second simulation, set the value of Mu to 2. The model logs data for the signals x1 and x2.

    open_system("vdp");
set_param("vdp/Mu","Gain","1")
sim("vdp");

set_param("vdp/Mu","Gain","2")
sim("vdp");

    Open the Simulation Data Inspector.

    Simulink.sdi.view

    Create plots in the Simulation Data Inspector to show the results from each simulation. Configure a 2x2 subplot layout so you can plot one signal on each plot, side by side.

    Simulink.sdi.setSubPlotLayout(2,2)

    Get the Simulink.sdi.Signal objects that correspond to each signal from each run, and plot one signal on each subplot. Plot the signals from the first simulation on the subplots in the first column and the signals from the second simulation on the subplots in the second column.

    runIDs = Simulink.sdi.getAllRunIDs;
runID1 = runIDs(end-1);
runID2 = runIDs(end);

runMu1 = Simulink.sdi.getRun(runID1);
runMu2 = Simulink.sdi.getRun(runID2);

sig1 = getSignalByIndex(runMu1,1);
sig2 = getSignalByIndex(runMu1,2);
sig3 = getSignalByIndex(runMu2,1);
sig4 = getSignalByIndex(runMu2,2);

plotOnSubPlot(sig1,1,1,true);
plotOnSubPlot(sig2,2,1,true);
plotOnSubPlot(sig3,1,2,true);
plotOnSubPlot(sig4,2,2,true);

    The signals in the first column of plots look similar to those in the second column. However, the y-axis limits for the plots of the x2 signal are different.

    Use the Simulink.sdi.getSubplotLimits function to copy the limits used for the subplot with the x2 signal from the second simulation.

    [~,~,ymin,ymax] = Simulink.sdi.getSubplotLimits(2,2);

    Use the Simulink.sdi.setSubplotLimits function to apply the same y-axis limits to the subplot with the x2 signal from the first run.

    Simulink.sdi.setSubplotLimits(2,1,'yRange',[ymin,ymax]);

    With the updated y-axis limits, the difference in the x2 signal is more apparent.

    Input Arguments

    Subplot row index, specified as an integer between 1 and 8, inclusive. Use the r and c inputs together to specify the location of the subplot for which you want the axis limits.

    Example: [~,~,yMin,yMax] = Simulink.sdi.setSubplotLimits(2,2) returns y-axis limits for the time plot in the second row of the second column of the subplot layout in the Simulation Data Inspector.

    Subplot column index, specified as an integer value between 1 and 8, inclusive. Use the r and c inputs together to specify the location of the subplot for which you want the axis limits.

    Example: [~,~,yMin,yMax] = Simulink.sdi.setSubplotLimits(2,2) returns the y-axis limits for the time plot in the second row of the second column of the subplot layout in the Simulation Data Inspector.

    Output Arguments
