MATLAB: How can the code know if it iss called from the base or from some other function

Question

I want my "figure formatting function" to copy the current figure if it is called from "base"-workspace but not if it is called from another function or script. How can I add this functionally to my "figure formatting function"?

thanks

With the dbstack function you can get the calling functions. Be aware that some releases have a function that is called to run a section, while older releases just return an empty struct.
