MATLAB MOVIES
Animating Data in MATLAB


MATLAB_MOVIES is a directory of MATLAB programs which illustrate the making of animations. If you have used MATLAB to make graphics images before, then you will be glad to know that it isn't too hard to make an animation, by stringing a series of related pictures together.

Of course, you need to have a series of images that do make a sensible sequence, you need to make sure that the individual images use the same picture size, plot scale, color bars and so on. Of things to worry about include figuring out what kind of movie file you want to create. But let's get on to the fun part!

Marcus Garvie has provided examples, based on a Linux version of MATLAB. To examine his information, go to Creating AVI Movies in MATLAB.
