Graphics

MATLAB is an interactive environment in which you can program as well as visualize your computations. It includes a set of high-level graphical functions for:

Line plots (plot, plot3, polar)
Bar graphs (bar, barh, bar3, bar3h, hist, rose, pie, pie3)
Surface plots (surf, surfc)
Mesh plots (mesh, meshc, meshgrid)
Contour plots(contour, contourc, contourf)
Animation (moviein, movie)
MATLAB also provides for low-level control in the event that the user wishes to have better control of the graphical output.

In addition, MATLAB also provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) toolbox called Guide for the creation of push buttons, text boxes, etc. for more user-friendly input to your m-files.
