Hi all,
I'm trying to make an animated figure that refreshes 64pts each frame, it's set to designate a new colorscale for each 64 pts according to amplitude -- I left out the rest of the code as it isn't relevant to plotting. I've tried to mess around with drawnow, erasemode (which I think doesn't exist anymore) and getframe/movie but I'm just not getting what I would like. The data to be plotted is in an 1x64xtimelength and it is arranged according to matrix A. Thanks so much in advance for your help!
% code starts at fill order
end
%%Fill order
A = [1,3;1,5;1,7;
2,2;2,4;2,6;2,8;2,10;
3,1;2,3;3,5;3,7;3,9;3,11;
4,2;4,4;4,6;4,8;3,12;5,8;
5,1;5,3;5,5;11,10;5,12;5,11;
6,2;6,4;6,6;6,8;6,10;6,12;
7,1;7,3;7,5;8,3;7,9;12,9;
8,2;8,4;8,6;8,8;11,2;8,12;
9,1;9,3;9,5;9,7;9,9;9,11;
10,2;10,4;10,6;10,8;10,10;10,12;
11,3;11,5;11,7;11,9;11,11;
12,6;12,8;12,10;];
% makes a 64 pt colormap (jet scale) BB = reshape(B,1,64,length(B));
%downsize data for testing purposes BB=BB(:,:,400:500);
c = colormap(jet(64)); hold on
for jj = 1:length(B);
% below sorts reshaped max/min values of each period so each half
% period shows up as color scaled based on 64 pt colormap
[~,Index]=sort(BB(1,1:end,jj),'descend');
D=zeros(64,2);
%
for i=1:64
x = Index(i);
C = A(x,:);
D(i,:)=C;
end
for ii = 1:64
plot3(D(ii,1),D(ii,2),BB(1,ii,jj),'Color',c(ii,:),'Marker','.','MarkerSize',25);
axis([0,12,0,12,-1.1,1.1]);
view([-40,20]);
%drawnow limitrate
%pause(0);
end
drawnow
EraseMode
% M(jj)=getframe;
% frame2in
% drawnow
% clf;
end
% figure
% movie (M,100)

Basically want to make a surf movie with pts instead of a surface plot.
