Description

commandwindow opens the MATLAB Command Window when it is closed, and selects the Command Window when it is open.

Remarks

To determine the number of columns and rows that display in the Command Window, given its current size, use

The number of columns is based on the width of the Command Window. With the matrix display width preference set to 80 columns, the number of columns is always 80.
