Trying to create a natural log animation plot that shows the data points using the delay function

9 views (last 30 days)
I came across an interesting code yesterday that created a natural log plot that used the delay function to plot the points of the graph slowly. Unfortunately I can not find this code and have been trying to replicate it on my own. As of now I have the following
x = (0:0.2:10);
y = log(x);
delay (0:0.1);
for i = 1:numel(x)
plot(i,y(i));
drawnow
end
However this code is not working and I'm a bit rusty at coding in matlab and would really appreciate some help.
Thank you

I found the code again on stackoverflow and I give all credit to a Jacob.
clear all; clc;
x = 1:0.2:100;
y = log(x);
DELAY = 0.0001;
for i = 1:numel(x)
clf;
plot(x,y)
hold on;
plot(x(i),y(i),'go');
pause(DELAY);
end

Perhaps you are thinking of something like
x = (0:0.2:10);
y = log(x);
xlim([x(1), x(end)]);
ylim([-4, y(end)]);
hold on
for i = 1:numel(x)
plot(x(i),y(i), '*');
pause(0.1);
end

I don't believe so, it was just an animated line for a log function. There is a code called animatedline, but the version of matlab I use here at school doesn't have it installed.
The following solution has something similar to what I am trying to accomplish. http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/243381-animate-line-but-show-marker-only-on-current-point

clear all;clc;
x = (0:0.2:10);
y = log(x);
DELAY = 0.001;
for i = 1:numel(x)
p=plot(x(i),y(i),'*');
comet(x,y);
pause(DELAY)
end
I came across the comet function, however the animation is sporadic
