MATLAB: Telling MATLAB to wait

delaypause

I'm doing a project and when I run my code, instead of MATLAB plotting the results after every time-step, it's only plotting the end result. I tried using the wait and timeout function but was unsuccessful. If anyone could help me put a 0.5 sec delay so MATLAB has the chance to plot that would be great!

Do you call PLOT after every time-step? After every time-step, call PLOT then cal DRAWNOW. You can also call PAUSE with a time-to-pause argument, but I doubt this is what you really want to do with your code.

MATLAB: Does PAUSE(0) fail to update the figure in MATLAB 7.0.1 (R14SP1)

It is not an intended behavior that the PAUSE function should update the figure. As a workaround, use the DRAWNOW function, as shown in the following code:

for i=1:1000
      plot(1:i);
      drawnow;
end
