How can I trigger Stateflow's "Arrange Automatically" via the API?

You can arrange a Stateflow chart within the editor by using Ctrl+Shift+A to "Arrange Automatically". How can I trigger this functionality when programmatically generating a Stateflow chart? For instance, the analogous feature in Simulink can be accessed from MATLAB via the Simulink.BlockDiagram.arrangeSystem function.

I am not aware of ways to align or distribute blocks programmatically but, starting MATLAB 2018b you can use Simulink.BlockDiagram.arrangeSystem(system) from your MATLAB command window to automatically arrange your model.

Please see the section titled Arrange Model Layouts Automatically in this help document.

Unfortunately, this does not work for Stateflow charts.
