Description

helpwin lists topics for groups of functions in the Help browser. It shows brief descriptions of the topics and provides links to access M-file help for the functions. You cannot follow links in the helpwin list of functions if MATLAB is busy (for example, running a program).

helpwin topic displays help information for the topic in the Help browser. If topic is a directory, it displays all functions in the directory. If topic is a function, it displays M-file help for that function. From the page, you can access a list of directories (the Default Topics link) as well as the reference page help for the function (the Go to online doc link). You cannot follow links in the helpwin list of functions if MATLAB is busy (for example, running a program).
