collapse

Collapse a cell block to its summary view.

Syntax

collapse(hCB)

Description

Collapses the cell block referenced by handle hCB (or implied by a cell reference that points into the block) to its compact summary form — typically a single header row showing variable name, type, and shape. Reverse with expand.

Useful for managing screen real estate when many variable cell blocks exist in the same spreadsheet or Environment Window.

Examples

collapse(A1)                   % collapse the block containing A1
