create animation in matlab

To create animation in Matlab, you can use the following steps:

  1. Initialize the figure and axes for plotting.
  2. Use a loop to update the data in the plot, with a pause between iterations to create a time delay.
  3. Use drawnow command to display the updated plot.

Below is an example code that creates a simple animation.

main.m
%initialize the figure and axes
fig = figure;
ax = axes('xlim', [0 10], 'ylim', [0 10]);
%create initial plot
x = 0:0.1:10;
y = sin(x);
line(x,y,'Color','blue');
%loop to update the data
for i=1:100
    y = sin(x+i/5);
    line(x,y,'Color','blue');
    pause(0.1) % time delay between iterations
    drawnow % update the plot
end
330 chars
15 lines

In this code, the loop updates the y-data of the plotted line, with an increment of i/5 added to the x-data. The pause function adds a delay of 0.1 seconds between iterations, and the drawnow function updates the figure to display the new plot.
