Transpose and Sort Variables in the Variable Editor
To transpose or sort variables, use the right-click menu options in the Variable Editor.
You can sort variables based on single or multiple column selections. The columns
you select can be noncontiguous and should always include all the rows. Also, you can
create variables from noncontiguous data selections. For more information see the New
Variable Editor Features in Release 2012a demo.
MATLAB Dock Menu on Mac Includes New Capabilities
Previously, on a Mac, the Dock menu associated with the MATLAB icon included only
the default options, such as Hide/Show and Quit. Now, consistent with the behavior
of most Mac applications, the MATLAB Dock menu lists open windows and documents
associated with the running MATLAB application. By choosing on any of the entries in
the Dock menu, you can bring that window or document to the front. To view the Dock
menu, right-click the MATLAB icon in the Dock or Ctrl+click the icon, if you have a one-
button mouse.
In addition, the MATLAB Dock menu includes a new option, named Open Additional
Instance of MATLAB, that is a convenient way to start another instance of MATLAB
running on your computer.
The following figure shows the MATLAB Dock menu with a document open in the
MATLAB Editor.
