How to move the position of a block name to the top through matlab command?

I am trying to move the block name of a certain block to the top of the block instead of the bottom. I know it's pretty easy to do if you have the model open (just drag it to the top), but is there a command which can be used to do this?

Hello Suzuki Kota,

There indeed is a command to perform that name plate alternation:

 % Name plate bottom
 set_param(blockHandle,'NamePlacement','normal');
 % Name plate top
 set_param(blockHandle,'NamePlacement','alternate');

Example model:

sysH = new_system('myNewSystem');
open_system(sysH);

bH1 = add_block('simulink/Sources/Constant','myNewSystem/Constant','Position',[50,50,80,80]);
bH2 = add_block('simulink/Sinks/Terminator','myNewSystem/Terminator','Position',[150,50,180,80]);

bH1PortHandles = get_param(bH1,'PortHandles');
bH2PortHandles = get_param(bH2,'PortHandles');
lH1 = add_line(sysH,bH1PortHandles.Outport(1),bH2PortHandles.Inport(1));

% place name plate above 'Terminator'
set_param(bH2,'NamePlacement','alternate');

Kind regards,

Robert
