Author Maximizing the command window
Shap

Is there a way to maximize the matlab command window from within an
m-file script? The reason I ask this is because I am tired of
switching back to the command window after every plot command.

Thanks,

Shap

Try to dock the figure window and the command window side by
side in the main window. The docking facility that probably
has been around for a while, opened up a whole new world when
I discovered it a couple of months ago. 90% less frustration
due to loosing track of where those figures went.

Now I have one consistent, clean workspace every time I open
a new matlab session.

Brilliant!

The one thing I miss (or don't know how to do) is to be able
to install a named workspace configuration at session startup
from within STARTUP.M. As far as I know, the desktop layout
is set interactively through the menus, and depends to some
extent on what I did at the end of the previous session.

I'd like to see that. Or let me define multiple
(named) layouts that I can choose from on the
toolbar.

You can do this already (since R14) from menus. Just create a layout and then
choose the menu Desktop -> Save Layout.... Then you can give the layout a name
and hit ok. The layout is then added to the menu Desktop -> Desktop Layout.

Hope this helps,
Kristin
