How to open output of Matlab to new command line window

I am totally new to matlab. I want to open output of matlab code on three times at different command windows to differentiate each other when click on button.directly change the code contents given below is appreciated.

% --- Executes on button press in pushbutton6.
function pushbutton6_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
% hObject    handle to pushbutton6 (see GCBO)
% eventdata  reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
% handles    structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)

% --- Executes on button press in pushbutton7.
function pushbutton7_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
% hObject    handle to pushbutton7 (see GCBO)
% eventdata  reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
% handles    structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)

Have a read here and here. It will greatly improve your chances of getting an answer.

If you are new at Matlab it may be best to not start with building GUIs, especially not with GUIDE, as those can be pretty confusing, even for moderately experienced users.

Your question is not really clear. Try to describe what exactly it is you want to achieve. What you've shown here is just the auto-generated callback function, which doesn't do anything right now.

If creating an additional command window is possible at all, it would be through methods that are not well documented. Are you certain that you need a new command window -- that is, you would need new windows in which to be able to type independent commands, that might be executing while the other command windows are executing?

Is it possible that what you really need is just three different output figures, or maybe just three different output panels, or perhaps even just three different scrolling text output windows?

Exactly walter i have three buttons in my project which will give three different output in command line, so i want a separate 3 output window for comparison purpose. So please tell me how to do this with detail explanation please as i am totally newbie to matlab.

ok.so which function help me to create new panel window or text output windows.will u please help me.

[Walter Roberson]

figure() for new windows. uipanel() for creating sections within a window. uicontrol() for creating a text or edit area within a section.

To adapt Jan's answer slightly:

f1 = figure();
f2 = figure();
f3 = figure();
T1 = uicontrol('Parent', f1, 'Style', 'edit', 'Units', 'normalized', ...
               'Position', [0, 0, 1, 1], ...
               'Min', 0, 'Max', 2);
T2 = uicontrol('Parent', f2, 'Style', 'edit', 'Units', 'normalized', ...
               'Position', [0, 0, 1, 1], ...
               'Min', 0, 'Max', 2);
T3 = uicontrol('Parent', f3, 'Style', 'edit', 'Units', 'normalized', ...
               'Position', [0, 0, 1, 1], ...
               'Min', 0, 'Max', 2);

Thanks Walter, but still i dont get it. How to call or display command line output to figure or panel. I did as you told in above steps but still i dont understand how that output will be called in figure.

There is one command window only, and this is a good idea. If a Matlab session have multiple command windows, it would not be clear, where warnings and error should occur.

If you want any output in a tricky layout, the command window is not the right location. Either open a figure with 3 edit fields:

figure;
T1 = uicontrol('Style', 'edit', 'Units', 'normalized', ...
               'Position', [0, 0, 0.32, 1], ...
               'Min', 0, 'Max', 2);
T2 = uicontrol('Style', 'edit', 'Units', 'normalized', ...
               'Position', [0.33, 0, 0.32, 1], ...
               'Min', 0, 'Max', 2);
T3 = uicontrol('Style', 'edit', 'Units', 'normalized', ...
               'Position', [0.66, 0, 0.32, 1], ...
               'Min', 0, 'Max', 2);

Now you can set the 'String' property of the edit fields as output:

set(T1, 'String', {'Hello', '', 'How are you?'});

Or create 3 text files and open them in the editor.
