How to plot a markov chain in matlab?

I have the states and transition probabilities. Just wonder if there is a matlab function to plot it automatically. Please feel free to let me know if you think there're better programs to plot it.

I'd use graphviz, and generate the script with MATLAB if I have to because all previous computations are made with MATLAB.

Cedric, this needs to be an Answer. I never knew ‘graphviz’ existed.

Hi Star, it was more a suggestion than an answer actually, but thank you for the comment!

Did you create the script to plot arbitrary Markov chains in graphviz? That would be very useful. Please share if possible!

Thanks both Cedric and Star.

Just tried out graphiz. The quickest way to try it out is to: get sample codes here: http://www.graphviz.org/Gallery.php try out a web version converter: http://graphviz-dev.appspot.com/ and change attributes as necessary: http://www.graphviz.org/doc/info/attrs.html

Thank you for the references! There are also FEX submissions and a package on GitHub if my memory is good, but I didn't test them.
