[Scilab-Dev] Xcos block: getting the position of ports in the interface function

[Clément David]

Hello Samuel,

The ports labels could be set on the on `blk.graphics.in_label` and `blk.graphics.out_label` depending on block's parameters by the interface function as it is done by the BIGSOM_f (or others). About the position, they are computed by Xcos as dataflow (on the left and right) or as eventflow (on the top and bottom) and it is not possible to fix them within the interface function.

You could also get the rotation, flip and mirror information from the blk.graphics.style value.

Thanks,
