Open Workspace browser to manage workspace

Description

The Workspace browser enables you to view and interactively manage the contents of the workspace in MATLAB^®. For each variable or object in the workspace, the Workspace browser also can display statistics, when relevant, such as the minimum, maximum, and mean.
