Create and customize MATLAB charts and plots. Plot types (line, scatter, bar, histogram, heatmap, surface), axes configuration, annotations, data tips, interactive plots, animation, multiple axes with tiledlayout, colororder, and performance optimization. Works for standalone figures, Live Scripts, and uifigure apps.
