I don't think there is any plot tool that creates such graph with only data input. However, you can create this by plotting the data using plot() command and add shades (vertical lines) where recessions occured using just stem(), or line(), or plot() again. Here is one simple example:
t = -5:.1:13;
T = sin(t);
plot(t,T, 'm-', 'linewidth', 2), grid on; hold on
warndlg( 'Select 3 Peaks or Downs or Any', 'Selection');
pause(5)
[x, y]=ginput(3);
stem(x(1), y(1), 'r-', 'linewidth', 5)
stem(x(2), y(2), 'g-', 'linewidth', 5)
stem(x(3), y(3), 'b-', 'linewidth', 5)
plot(x(1)*ones(1,10), 'r-', 'linewidth', 5)

@Sulaymon Eshkabilov Thank you for this answer. After searching low and high, I found the answer to be really simple: ECONOMETRIC TOOLBOX. Here it is https://au.mathworks.com/help/econ/recessionplot.html
