what does pause() do in animation in matlab

The pause() function can be used in animations to introduce a pause between frames. The argument passed to the pause() function specifies the duration of the pause in seconds. Here is an example code snippet:

main.m
for i = 1:numFrames
    % update frame
    pause(0.1); % pause for 0.1 seconds
end

In the code above, the for loop updates each animation frame, and the pause() function introduces a pause of 0.1 seconds between frames. By adjusting the argument passed to pause(), you can control the speed of the animation.
