How can I avoid the window-pop stoping me from another app in Mac

When I use matlab to run a long time code, it pops some window(figures,etc). And when the windows pop, mac will immediately goes to the window. That means if I was typing, it made me type in a mess. Or if I was watching movie while the programme run, I would be often disturbed.

Is there any way to solve this?

I'm not sure if I make it clear.

Hi Ethan,

As per my understanding you want to stop/avoid the pop-up’s which are result of your MATLAB code because it directs you to its respective window from the current one.

I am assuming the pop-ups to which you're referring are related to the figure.

There are two ways to hide the figure window pop-up’s,

The first method is to set the ‘WindowState’ property to ‘minimized’.

Here is an example code snippet to help you understand it better.

v=figure;
v.WindowState = 'minimized' 

Second method, we can set the figure visibility to ‘off’,as shown below.

Here is an example code snippet to help you understand it better.

v=figure;
v.Visibility = ‘off’ 

These methods will help you to avoid the figure window pop-up’s
