Hi

if you have already solved your system for various values of t and have the
results in vector x and y, you can just use plot(x,y). Assuming you have
functions f and g already defined, it could look like this (not tested):

t = 0:0.01:1; % or whatever you need
x = zeros(length(t), 1);
y = zeros(length(t), 1);
for i=1:length(t)
    solfun = @(X) [f(X(1), X(2), t(i)); g(X(1), X(2), t(i))];
    X0 = [1; 1];
    X = fsolve(solfun, X0);
    x(i) = X(1);
    y(i) = X(2);
end
plot(x,y)

BTW, I did not receive your email through regular mailing list (just noticed
it on Nabble), so there may have been some problem with your email passing
through.
