How can I display a large matrix without the word "Columns" appearing?

Question

I want to display a large matrix, but I don't like the words "Columns x to y" to show. How can I do this?

Answer 1

You can use the function NUM2STR to format a large 2-D matrix A into a character array and display that. For example:

>> A = magic(15);  %# This would likely break up columns when displayed
>> num2str(A)      %# This won't
