Can I change the time axes limits of signals and groups in a Signal Builder block using the SIGNALBUILDER function in Simulink 7.9 (R2012a)?

I am using the SIGNALBUILDER function to create and modify signals in a Signal Builder block from the command line. I have found that the GUI-based approach provides more functionality than command-line.

One example is changing the time axes limits of signals and groups, which does not seem to be achievable with SIGNALBUILDER. When I change the time scales of signals in a group using SIGNALBUILDER, the time axes limits do not change. This works fine, however, with the data axes limits.

I tried changing the axes limits manually using handle graphics GET/SET methods, but rescaling the time axes caused the Group tabs on top of the axes to become skewed and inaccessible.

Are there any ways to do this without using the GUI?

The ability to change the axes limits of the SIGNALBUILDER function is not available in Simulink 7.9 (R2012a).

As a workaround, please use the GUI to change the time scale or create a new Signal Builder block with the data containing the new time scale.
