Some distributions of Octave include (limited) functionality for adding
interactive controls in figures, via Qthandles.
You can try:

octave:1> graphics_toolkit qt
octave:2> figure
octave:3> uicontrol("style","pushbutton","string","button")

If you see a figure with a button on the lower left corner, then you
should be able to create simple guis that way. It chielfy depends on
what version and distribution of Octave you have installed, and if it
includes qt as availabel graphics toolkit.

There is not that much documentation for using uicontrols in Octave.
But Mathworks's documentation for matlab may help you too.
