Preferences for the Array Editor

Using preferences for the Array Editor, you can specify the format for how numeric values are displayed, as well as their font type, style, and size.

To set preferences for the Array Editor, select Preferences from the File menu. The Preferences dialog box opens showing Array Editor Preferences.

Specify the Font and Default format preferences.

Font.   Array Editor font preferences specify the characteristics of the font used in the Array Editor. Select Use desktop font if you want the font in the Array Editor to be the same as that specified for General Font & Colors preferences. If you want the Array Editor font to be different, select Use custom font and specify the font characteristics for the Array Editor:

• Type, for example, Sans Serif
• Style, for example, bold
• Size in points, for example, 12 points

After you make a selection, the Sample area shows how the font will look.

Default Format. .   Specify the output format of numeric values displayed in the Array Editor. This affects only how numbers are displayed, not how MATLAB computes or saves them. For more information, see Controlling the Display of Values in the Array Editor or see the reference page for format.
