See: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/101542-is-it-possible-to-programmatically-check-whether-matlab-has-been-started-with-the-nodisplay-optio. But this might do the trick also:

usejava('desktop')

or

java.lang.System.getProperty( 'java.awt.headless' )

Thanks!

I don't understand from this answer what is the correct conditional to use to check whether or not Matlab was launched without the desktop. Can you please elaborate?

[Jan]

if usejava('desktop')
    disp('This Matlab instance runs with a desktop')
else
    % No message here due to the missing comamnd window.
end

Alternatively:

if java.lang.System.getProperty('java.awt.headless')
    % No command window...
else
    disp('This Matlab instance runs with a desktop')
end
