Text Display and Display Preferences for the Command Window
Text display
Specify how output appears in the Command Window:
- Numeric format--Output format of numeric values displayed in the Command Window. This affects only how numbers are displayed, not how MATLAB computes or saves them. The
format reference page includes the list of available formats.
- Numeric display--Spacing of output in the Command Window. To suppress blank lines, use
compact. To display blank lines, use loose. For more information, see the reference page for format.
Display
Set these options:
- Echo on--Select if you want commands running in M-files to display in the Command Window during the M-file execution. For more information, see the reference page for
echo.
- Wrap lines--Select if you want a single line of input or output in the Command Window to instead break into multiple lines in order to fit within the current width of the Command Window. With this option selected, an entire line is visible without scrolling, and the horizontal scroll bar does not appear because it is not needed.
- Limit matrix display width to eighty columns--Select if you want MATLAB to display only 80 columns of matrix output, regardless of the width of the Command Window. Clear the check box if you make the Command Window wider than 80 columns and want matrix output to fill the width of the Command Window. See also the
display reference page.
Command session scroll buffer size
Set how many lines are kept in the Command Window buffer. You can see these lines when you scroll up. A larger buffer means you can access more previous lines, but it requires more memory.
