GNU Octave the default interface (over the command line interface) with the release of Octave 4.0. It was well-received by EDN contributor, who said "[Octave] now has a very workable GUI." Several 3rd-party graphical front-ends have also been developed, like ToolboX for coding education. With Octave code, the user can create GUI applications . Here are some examples. Button, edit control, checkboxTextboxListbox with message boxes.Radiobuttons An advanced example of Octave GUI application composition can be seen in the FEATool Multiphysics FEM simulation toolbox. Octave also has packages available for free. Those packages are located at Octave-Forge . Available packages are: GNU Octave
