Creating Graphical User Interface in R

Currently I am carrying out data analysis in R. Ultimately I want to create a GUI that can give the summary of the analysis and the main plots. Does anyone know if I can use R to create the interface? If not, do you know if I can combine MATLAB (for GUI) and R?

I appreciate your cooperation.

Thank you in advance!

I would suggest looking into rpanel, which is built on tcltk, and RGtk2, which is built on GTK+.

ETA: In response to your comment about making PDF/HTML reports with R: I would strongly recommend Sweave which embeds R into LaTeX. It's powerful and capable of making very well-formatted reports.

This package has some code for making guis as you describe.

Rcommander, RStudio and, if you are using linux, RKWard () provide some GUI elements for plotting and statistical analysis. That may be what you are looking for.
