Can I use my own real-time modified plot in ThingSpeak?

I am new user in ThingSpeak. I have learned that ThingSpeak allows the user create their own modified plot using MATLAB Visualization Apps and then publish it on the channels. But after I tried, I realized that the modified plot is not updated in real-time, instead I need to refresh the page to get the updated reading. I tried to use the drawnow function from matlab, but it is said:
Error using pause The 'pause' command is not supported for this product offering using these arguments: 'n > 2'
Is there any possibility for the user to create their own modified plot and publish it in the channel in a real-time?
Thank you in advance for answering this

Welcome to ThingSpeak!
You can have plots automatically refresh when you purchase a paid license. The button labelled autoupdate will allow you to refresh your visualization automatically. You can see the description among the visualization options in the doc.

I assume the error you got wasnt directly from adding 'drawnow' as it seems to be an error for the pause command.
The standard ThingSpeak channel plots are updated automatically.
