clc - Clear Command Window

GUI Alternatives

As an alternative to the clc function, select Edit > Clear Command Window in the MATLAB desktop.

Syntax

clc

Description

clc clears all input and output from the Command Window display, giving you a "clean screen."

After using clc, you cannot use the scroll bar to see the history of functions, but you still can use the up arrow to recall statements from the command history.

Examples

Use clc in a MATLAB code file to always display output in the same starting position on the screen.
