How to implement a function slideshow to multiple figures ?

I want to create a slideshow to see the figures of my data project.

I found a function slideshow() on matlab documentation but I don't know how to impleent in the code below. The loop goes trough 24 figures in csv files.

Any ideia how to implement this?

if(~isdeployed)
  cd(fileparts(which(mfilename)));
end
DataPath = '.\';
AvailableFiles = dir((fullfile(DataPath, '*.csv'))); % list available data files

fileName = 'o3_surface_20180701000000.nc';
% latData  = ncread(fileName,'latitude'); 

for idx = 1: size(AvailableFiles,1)
    OpenFileName = AvailableFiles(idx).name;
   
   
    X = ncread('o3_surface_20180701000000.nc', 'lat');
    Y = ncread('o3_surface_20180701000000.nc', 'lon'); 


    % this is one hours for Cluster based ensemble data. you will 23 more 
    Z = csvread(OpenFileName);
    X= double(X);
    Y= double(Y);
    
    %% Create a display of the data from the NetCDF files like this
    [X,Y] = meshgrid(X, Y);
 
    figure(idx);
    clf
    
    % Create the map
    worldmap('europe'); % set the part of the earth to show
    load coastlines
    plotm(coastlat,coastlon)

    land = shaperead('landareas', 'UseGeoCoords', true);
    geoshow(gca, land, 'FaceColor', [0.5 0.7 0.5])

    lakes = shaperead('worldlakes', 'UseGeoCoords', true);
    geoshow(lakes, 'FaceColor', 'blue')

    rivers = shaperead('worldrivers', 'UseGeoCoords', true);
    geoshow(rivers, 'Color', 'blue')

    cities = shaperead('worldcities', 'UseGeoCoords', true);
    geoshow(cities, 'Marker', '.', 'Color', 'red')

    % Plot the data
    surfm(X, Y, Z, 'EdgeColor', 'none',...
        'FaceAlpha', 0.5) % edge colour outlines the edges, 'FaceAlpha', sets the transparency

end

Do you want the slideshow to exist only in Matlab, or do you want to be able to share it? Here are my personal suggestions:

If you only need it in Matlab:

At the end of each plotting loop, add a pause(2) command, modifying the delay to your tastes. You may also need drawnow before, depending on the figures:

for idx = 1: size(AvailableFiles,1)
    ...
    surfm(X, Y, Z, 'EdgeColor', 'none','FaceAlpha', 0.5)
    drawnow
    pause(2)
end

If you need it outside Matlab

My experience has been that the best way to do this is to simply save the plots as separate images, and use external tools to view them.

for idx = 1: size(AvailableFiles,1)
    ...
    surfm(X, Y, Z, 'EdgeColor', 'none','FaceAlpha', 0.5)
    % save as Fig1.png, Fig2.png, ...
    print("Fig"+idx,'-dpng')
end

That way, you can scroll through the images at your own rate, pausing on interesting ones. If you want it to scroll at a fixed rate, your OS probably has a way to do that. You may want to name the files more informatively, though.
