shall I plot some figure to save without show?

I want to plot some figures by functions 'bar' and 'plot', but I don't want this figure being shown and just want to save it on somewhere; shall I?

@KSSV I have another question about this topic.

In my code, I show and save a plot obtained by using a function.

Such two operations are available if I set two variables (showfig and outputsave, respectively) equal to 1, vice versa, they are unavailable if I turn the parameters as zero.

Thus my question is:

How can I save the plot without showing it?

I have tried to use your suggestion, but it doesn't work.

In my function there is:

if showfig==1
    set(gcf,'Visible','off')
else
    set(gcf,'Visible','on')
end
...
...
if outputsave==1 
savefig ('myfigure.jpeg')
end
