MATLAB: About the cursor return to command window

Question

It's usually that when we input 'figure'on the command window, the figure window would come out and display on the most significant end. But if I want to the return back to the command window without click on it,which statement I can use after the 'figure' function could help me achive that goal?(not 'figure;clear all', I want to keep those figure)

Answer 1

The cursor won't appear unless the command window has focus. Though if you just call figure, the figure has focus but if you just start typing, it will go into the command window even though the cursor wasn't showing/blinking there (I tried it). So you need to figure out how to set focus back to your command window immediately after you're done putting stuff into your figure window. You can probably do it with some Java trick, so I refer you to here: http://undocumentedmatlab.com/?s=focus
