MATLAB: Undock and display variable

MATLABmatlab gui

Is it possible to "programmatically" undock and display a variable (e.g., startfinXY)?
I have a script that produces figures and an array. I want to manually alter the array after examinng the figures. it would be quicker to have the figures and variable both present themselves on the screen separately. The methods for figure display do not work:
set(startfinXY,'WindowStyle','normal');
Error using matlab.graphics.Graphics/set
The name 'WindowStyle' is not an accessible property for an instance of class
'matlab.graphics.GraphicsPlaceholder'.
Many thanks

Solved: [x,y] = ginput(n) does effectively the same thing.
