show no figures in matlab, disable figures

Posted by rolf on Monday, 26 January 2015

If you want to run a matlab script, that shows figures, on a remote machine without using ssh -X, start matlab with

matlab -nodesktop

and write following line in the matlab terminal, before starting your .m script

  set(0,'DefaultFigureVisible','off');

That prevents figures to pop up. To set the visibility on 'on', use

  set(0,'DefaultFigureVisible','on');
