Is there a way to determine if the matlab desktop is being used? Or
alternatively what the matlab command line options were (i.e. if -
nodesktop or -nodisplay were used)?

I have a system call that outputs colored strings (from bash) that
look nice when run from a terminal, but don't translate to the matlab
desktop, where I'd like to strip them out.

thanks,
Bill

jf = get(gcf,'javaframe');
dt = get(jf,'desktop');
mf = get(dt,'mainframe');

At the Matlab desktop, mf is a java object. At the command line, it is empty. There is probably a better way, but this seems to work. RHEL5, R2006b.

Same thing, one line:
mf = com.mathworks.mde.desk.MLDesktop.getInstance.getMainFrame;

usejava('desktop') is perfect, thanks!
