Is there a way to prevent the MATLAB from creating a separate figure window, and instead show it as a tab in the editor, like the command window or workspace / variables tabs? I'd like to see the figure on the side while still writing on the full-size window. I looked into the settings and couldn't find anything related.

I am not sure if questions not related to MATLAB code is on topic, my apologies if it is not.

You need to set the figure's 'WindowStyle' property to 'Docked'. You can do that when you create the figure:

f = figure('WindowStyle', 'Docked');
