Re: Displaying an animation / "movie"

[Robert A. Macy]

Jeff,

I don't know what imshow does.  On both my machines it does
strange things [Win 98 and WinXP ]
>> imshow(rand(50,50));drawnow;

However try
>> gsplot rand(100,100);

That plots a matrix and you can move it around with your
mouse forbetter viewing.  

but doubt that's what you were after
