Control layout time scope blocks programmatically

I'm trying to plot two signals in different layouts using a time scope, as we do when using subplot. I got to do it programmatically. I'm creating a time scope using dsp.TimeScope(). I've already tried to modify time scope properties using this and this links, but without sucess. I saw that there is a propertie which allows layout modifications in time scopes, it is LayoutDimensions. But a cant acess it.

So, I'd like to do someting like:

subplot(211)

scope(signal1)

subplot(212)

scope(signal2)

Could you help me please ?

Thank's in advance !

Hi @Emerson Nascimento,

The 'LayoutDimensions' property can be programmatically accessed using the 'TimeScopeConfiguration' object which controls the appearance and behaviour of a scope block. This object can be accessed using the 'get_param' function:

blockPath = '<modelName>/Time Scope';
scopeConfig = get_param(blockPath,'ScopeConfiguration');
scopeConfig.LayoutDimensions = [2,1];

Here's the documention to the 'TimeScopeConfiguration' object for more properties:

Hi Emerson

Here is a MATLAB example that shows how to use the LayoutDimensions property on timescope to achieve a similar behavior as subplot

ts = timescope(LayoutDimensions=[1 2]);
signal1 = randn(100,1);
signal2 = randn(100,2);
ts(signal1,signal2);

Hers is an example from the timescope documentation page as well
