6. MATLAB Desktop Environment
Command Window
Start Button
Command History Window
Workspace Window
Current Directory Window
Current Directory
MATLAB Prompt

7. MATLAB ENVIRONMENT Command Window
 It is main panel where one
interacts with MATLAB.
 One types command & press
Enter Key after MATLAB
prompt >>, MATLAB executes
commands & displays results
(if requested).
 Some commonly used tools &
commands:
  (up arrow) – returns last
command input, can be
repeated
 clc – clears screen
 whos – shows list of
variables
 clear – clears variables

8. Main Purpose of MATLAB
It provides an interactive environment with
hundreds of built-in-functions for:
(a) Technical computations
(b) Graphics
(c) Animation

9. General MATLAB Commands
(A) General Purpose Commands: Six Categories

11. (B) Special Variables & Constraints: Two Categories

12. (C) Language Constructs & Debugging: Three Categories

13. (D) File I/O: Two Categories

14. On-line help:
Type help plot on MATLAB prompt & hit return.
If too much text flashes by screen, type more on,
hit return & then type help plot again.
This gives paged screen output.
Read through on-line help.
To move to next page of screen output, simply
press spacebar.

15. Summary
This lecture commences with discussion on
knowing the Objectives & Benefits of this course.
Then details of MATLAB Features & its Desktop
Environment is highlighted.
In the end, we have also seen Main Purpose of
MATLAB and its different General Purpose
Commands.
