Ok so I want make it so went I plot my figure that it appears on top half of the screen but at the same time make it so the command window appears at the bottom half of the screen when I run the script. How would I do this? Thanks.

Click and drag the command window to where you want it. Then after you plot your figure, use this:

% Enlarge figure to top half of the screen.
set(gcf, 'Units', 'Normalized', 'OuterPosition', [0 0.5 1 0.5]);

So there is no way to position the command window automatically with the figure? I have to manually move it before i run the script? Thanks.

You'd have to use undocumented things, like Yair shows you http://undocumentedmatlab.com/?s=commandwindow

You can get the handle to the command window:

jDesktop = com.mathworks.mde.desk.MLDesktop.getInstance;
cmdWin = jDesktop.getClient('Command Window');

Then try to set it's alignmentX and alignmentY properties or something. I haven't done it, so you'll have to experiment.
