Using Predefined Desktop Configurations

There are six predefined MATLAB desktop configurations, which you can select from the View -> Desktop Layout menu:

• Default--Contains the Command Window and the Command History with the Current Directory browser and the Workspace browser tabbed together.
• Command Window Only--Contains only the Command Window. This makes MATLAB appear similar to how it looked in older versions.
• Simple--Contains the Command History and Command Window, side by side.
• Short History--Contains the Current Directory browser and Workspace browser tabbed together above the Command Window and a small Command History.
• Tall History--Contains the Command History along the left, and the Current Directory browser and Workspace browser tabbed together above the Command Window.
• Five Panel--Contains the Launch Pad above the Command History along the left, the Workspace browser above the Current Directory browser in the center, and the Command Window on the right.

After selecting a predefined configuration, you can move, resize, and open and close windows.
