creating an animated plot

[ashwinsamant]

Hello guys,

Here is the situation i am in.. I have stored like 20 values of X and Y Position from time 1sec to 20 sec in an excel sheet and I want my code to extract those and plot them for each time.and the plot should look animated. The best way to describe it that there is a car moving from from time 1 to 20 secs and i want to have its trajectory. Now i am able to do all that. I am more interested getting graphics..like say a huge ball represents that car and the ball moves every sec along those values..Please help as its urgent..

Thanks

here is the code i have developed.. as u can see i am able to get the plot but I want a ball or any object to follow that path(ball represents my car in motion)..also attaching my values file

clc;
clear all;


num = xlsread('Value.xls')

Time = num(:,1); 
% count = num of rows in the initial matrix - num or Time
%Time(count)
count=length(Time);

X=num(1,2);
Y=num(1,3);

hold on;

p = plot(X,Y)
axis([-10000 10000 -10000 10000])

for iCount = 2:count
    X(iCount)=num(iCount,2);
    %X
    Y(iCount)=num(iCount,3);
    %Y
  
    % Change coordinates
    set(p,'XData',X,'YData',Y);

%     refreshdata
%     drawnow
    pause(.5)
end

Take a look at the "erasemode" property of the plot. I don't have ML to hand right now, but I think "xor" might be what you want.

change your p=plot(x,y) to

p=plot(NaN,Nan,'O')

then do the XData, YData update.
