clear command window

@Zohreh Tavassoli

Clearing the command window will not have any effect on the position of editor windows.

I think this does not answer Jenniefer Bylin's question. The question was how to open the editor window above the command window. The video here shows how to do that- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7DYBcGoRBU

If you are trying to consolidate all of the separate m file windows into one window with separate tabs in it, this is your answer. There is a down arrow on the upper right-hand corner, and if one clicks "Dock all in Editor," all of the m files that are open will become one with the editor window with separate tabs for each m file. This is true on the Mac version, anyway. I attached step 1 and step 2 screenshots to do this.

Two steps will solve that issue: 1) "dock" all open but undocked windows by clicking on the small triangle at the top right corner of each wimdow, then 2) follow: Home > Layout > Default.

Just dock it and it should stay docked next time you open Matlab. There's a downwards arrow menu in the top right of the editor with a 'Dock Editor' option.

[AADITYA GUPTA]

Thanks ..it worked.

[moh H]

thanks alot .. this one worked for me.

Answer 4

[Meghan]

In the top right hand corner of the editor screen there should be a drop-down menu. Select the option to dock the script. That should pin your editor back to being above the command window.

Answer 5

[Gloria Meiers]

There should also be an option from the downward arrow to "restore" the editor if you want it to remain open when typing in the command window. That's what I use so that I can see both at once! I think docking only leaves it there until you start typing in the command window and then it minimizes automatically.

[surabhi gupta]

How can I do this in matlab 2012a?

[Cris LaPierre]

Redock the editor window. You should have an option similar to what is shown here.

You might also try using predefined layouts if they are available in the Home tab.
