Remove Figure window from appearing at all in program

Hi,

I (beginner in matlab) have a loop that plots multiple graphs and then saves them as png's in my code. I have looked at other answers and they mention code such as

fig1 = figure(1, 'Visible', 'off');

https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/399473-keep-figures-invisible-until-for-loop-is-over-to-reduce-time-duration

The loop I have eventually generates around 100 graphs for my data set. My concern is that by displaying or attempting to display each plot it unneccsarily slows down the code.

Does setting the visible to off keep it from wasting processing time generating these figures to the screen/at all?

Any simplification advice on the code would be great, I am still learning about matlab and coding in general.

Correct, if you set a figure visibility off, then the sequence of code you use will not display it to the screen but will save it to the file.
