disp (MATLAB Function Reference)

disp	Examples See Also

Display text or array

Syntax

disp(X)

Description

disp(X)

displays an array, without printing the array name. If X contains a text string, the string is displayed.

Another way to display an array on the screen is to type its name, but this prints a leading "X =," which is not always desirable.

Examples

One use of disp in an M-file is to display a matrix with column labels:

disp('         Corn         Oats         Hay')
disp(rand(5,3))

which results in

         Corn         Oats         Hay
