It's usually that when we input 'figure'on the command window, the figure window would come out and display on the most significant end. But if I want to the return back to the command window without click on it,which statement I can use after the 'figure' function could help me achive that goal?(not 'figure;clear all', I want to keep those figure)

The cursor won't appear unless the command window has focus. Though if you just call figure, the figure has focus but if you just start typing, it will go into the command window even though the cursor wasn't showing/blinking there (I tried it). So you need to figure out how to set focus back to your command window immediately after you're done putting stuff into your figure window. You can probably do it with some Java trick, so I refer you to here: http://undocumentedmatlab.com/?s=focus

This is the job for the command commandwindow
figure; drawnow; commandwindow
The drawnow is essential, because otherwise the event stack is evaluated when the command window gets the focus - and then the figure is on top. So force the processing of the event queue by drawnow and call commandwindow afterwards.
