MATLAB has a function called eigshow, which creates a GUI to help us "see" singular value decomposition and eigenvalue decomposition. The GUI is rudimentary, however.

I wrote my own to accompany a set of articles that I plan to write for my blog crunchingnumbers.live. The source codes are available on GitHub, but I want to make them available to the MathWorks community also and get your feedback.

So far, my GUI helps you visualize three things:

1. Matrix norm
2. Singular value decomposition
3. Eigenvalue decomposition

The GUI feels great if you have touchscreen and move the vectors with your finger instead of a mouse. I designed my code to be modular, so I'm hoping to add more features in the near future.
