MATLAB: Animatedline function in under R2014b version

Hi, I am using matlab 2014a, i want to use animatedline function but it is introduced in matlab 2014b. What's function i can use in R2014a to do the same task?

Example:
xlist = [];
ylist = [];
myline = line('LineStyle', '-', 'Marker', '*', 'Color', 'b');   %use appropriate properties
set(gca, 'xlim', [0 1000], 'YLim', [-10 35]);
for K = 1 : 1000
  newx = K + randn();
  newy = sqrt(newx) + sin(newx);
  xlist = [xlist, newx];
  ylist = [ylist, newy];
  if length(xlist) > 20
    xlist = xlist(end-19:end);
    ylist = ylist(end-19:end);
  end
  set(myline, 'XData', xlist, 'YData', ylist);
  drawnow();
end
Note: although it is tempting to call line() or plot() with x and y data being empty to set up the line with no contents, doing so will result in no line, and then R2014a will not notice it is working with an empty graphics object.
