Synopsis

movie(M)
movie(M,n)
movie(M,n,fps)
movie(h,...)
movie(h,m,n,fps,loc)

Description

movie(M,n) plays the movie n times. If n is negative, each play is once forward and once backward. If n is a vector, elements 2 and above specify the order in which to play the frames. For example, if M has three columns, n = [10 3 2 1] plays the movie 10 times backwards.

movie(M,n,fps) plays the movie at fps frames per second. The default if fps is omitted is 12 frames per second. Machines that can't achieve the specified fps play as fast as they can.

movie(h,...) plays the movie in object h, where h is a handle to a figure or an axes.

movie(h,m,n,fps,loc) specifies the location loc to play the movie, relative to the lower-left corner of object h and in the units of its Units property. loc is a four-element vector, loc = [x y 0 0]. Note that the first two elements of loc specify the location of the lower-left corner of the movie; the last two elements are not used, but must be present.

Examples

z = peaks;
surf(z); 
lim = axis;
M = moviein(20);
for j = 1:20 % Record the movie
    surf(sin(2*pi*j/20)*z,z)
    axis(lim)
    M(:,j) = getframe;
end
movie(M,20) % Play the movie twenty times
