Plot inside a loop in MATLAB

Question

I am doing something like this:

a = [1:100];
for i=1:100,
    plot([1:i], a(1:i));
end

My issue is that the plot is not shown until the loop is finished. How can I show/update the plot in every iteration?

Answer 1

Use DRAWNOW

a = [1:100];
for i=1:100,
 plot([1:i], a(1:i));
 drawnow
end
