The Icon I am looking for is apparently gone from 2018a onwards so I was told. So the question is now irrelevant. But the answer given is a workaround anyway. Thanks.

Whenever I create a plot, it used to have on top left corner a ribbon with icons, one of which is "plottools" when I click it the figure fills the screen and it will have all the plotting tools that one can use to manupulate the plots. But lately ( may be the last few versions of matlab), I am not getting this option. I am not sure how to get this icon on ribbon again. without this option the figure fills just part of the screen and I do not get several options that I used to get before. Any help is appreciated.

On the figure, click menu "View", check "Figure toolbar" or "Plot Edit Toolbar" or others.

That "Show Plot Tools and Dock Figure" icon on the ribbon (Figure Toolbar) in older MATLAB version seems to be gone in R2019b. You have to check "Figure Palette", "Plot Browser" and "Property Editor" under "View" to get the same effect.
Or, type the command "plottools" to activate it.
