Animate a graph and export to Powerpoint? 1

[SylvestreW]

Morning all,
I have some data that I am plotting in Matlab and I'd like to somehow create an animation and export to Powerpoint for my presentation.

In a nutshell, I have a vibration profile over a range of frequencies, and the vibrations change depending on the RPMs of the motor.

What I currently have in Matlab is a for loop from 100 to MaxRPM, where I plot the vibration levels vs. frequency, and simply use drawnow to update. This gives me a quasi-animated plot.

Is there a way to somehow save that quasi-animation, and import somehow (as a .mpg, .avi, .qt??) to Powerpoint?

Thanks

It is very simple to make an avi file with the AVIFILE function. I use the 'Cinepak' compression option, but I frequently encounter colormap errors for very large data sets.

Thanks very much cev, the Cinepak was what I was missing (I kept getting a codec error with the default compression).
