Wait function within a for loop within graph box..

Hi all,

I wanted to create a graph box that plots a point every, say, 0.5 seconds. The idea is that I can watch the evolution of my data through time for example.

Here is a simple script that doesn't work but it is how I imagined it working. Can somebody point to how you might achieve this?

x = [1 2 3 4 5];

y = -x;

New Window("Data evolution",

graph box(

for(i, i < 6, i++,

Marker(x[i], y[i]);

wait(0.5);

),

),

);

ms

There are several ways to do this. Here's one example:

x = [1 2 3 4 5];

y = -x;

//Start values (as matrices)

xi = x[1 :: 1];

yi = y[1 :: 1];

nw = New Window("Data evolution", gb = Graph Box(X Scale(0, 6), Y Scale(-6, 0), Marker(xi, yi)));

For(i = 2, i < 6, i++,

    Wait(0.5);

    xi = x[1 :: i];

    yi = y[1 :: i];

    gb << reshow;

);
