Question

How can I center the text printed by display('the text')?

Eg, like the text you get when entering matlab.

A function to get the width of the current terminal will do to (I’ll figure it out from there).

Answer 1

with a fairly new version of matlab you can do:

sz=get(0, 'CommandWindowSize');
command_line_width = sz(1);

Otherwise, you’ll have to use a mex file:
