MATLAB: Can I change the location of Malab preference folder via an environment variable

environment variablepreference

Hello all,

I would like to have different sets of preferences and be able to switch to one of them when starting Matlab.

Normally the preferences are stored in Matlab preferences directory. You can find out where it is located from prefdir command.

Is there an environment variable which controls this location? I'd set this variable to one location or another depending on my needs before starting Matlab. Or any other way of doing it?

Thank you

MATLAB: How to apply change in variable format via preferences

The preferences in the Variables section of the preferences for MATLAB in the Preferences window control the behavior of the Variable Editor. They don't control the formatting of variables when displayed in the Command Window. For that you want to use the preferences in the Command Window section of the preferences for MATLAB in the Preferences window (the first item listed in the table on that page) or use the format function.

>> format short
>> t = table(pi)
t = 
     Var1 
    ______
    3.1416
>> format long
>> t
t = 
          Var1
