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")

Dear Helios,

As a suggestion, there is a  GUI  for Octave available. It is Qt
Octave. 
It can be found in your repository. I use it in Fedora.
 
Good Luck,

Yes, and there will be a native GUI for Octave in future releases. But
I think that the OP did not ask that FAQ, but something different: if he
could use Octave to create his own GUI _for other programs_ (that would
plot and analyse data with Octave, I guess).

Please, also remember to copy the help-octave list in your answers, and
answer by bottom-posting, as recommended for this list.

Best regards
Helios
