create an animation in matlab

To create an animation in Matlab, we can use a for loop to repeatedly plot our data with a pause function in between each iteration to give the illusion of animation.

Here is an example code to create an animation of a moving plot:

main.m
% Define x and y data
x = linspace(0, 2*pi, 100);
y = sin(x);

% Plot the initial plot
plot(x,y);

% Set axis limits
axis([0 2*pi -1 1]);

% Loop to animate plot
for i = 1:100
    y = sin(x + i/10);
    plot(x,y);
    % Pause to create animation effect
    pause(0.1);
end

In this code, we first define x and y data and plot the initial plot. We then set the axis limits to match our data. In the for loop, we update the y data on each iteration to create the animation effect. We also pause for a short amount of time using the pause function to create the illusion of animation.
