Yo u can scroll in the Command Window to see input and output that are no

longer in view. As an alternative to scrolling, you can use the up and down

arrow keys if the C ommand Window Accessibility preference is selected.

Formatting and Spacing Numeric Output

By default, numeric output in the Command Window is displayed as 5-digit

scaled, fixed-point values, called the short format. To change the numeric

format of output for the current and future sessions, set the Command

Window preference for text display. The text display format affects only how

numbers are shown, not how MATLAB computes or saves them.

Function Alternative

Use the format function to control the output format of the numeric values

displayed in the Command Window. The format you specify applies until you

change it or until the end of the session. More advanced alternatives are

listed in the “See Also” section of the

format reference page.
