Hi,
I'm new to Psychtoolbox and am using it to create a reversing checkerboard pattern on the screen. The checkerboard has been coloured such that it is more like vertical stripes rather than checks. I have two contrasting conditions a regular black/white striped pattern and then a light grey/dark grey striped pattern. At first, I was struggling with the timing aspect of things and was not able to get the screen to switch from the grey screen to black and white screen. The waitframes fixed this. However, now that I have each screen appearing for a set duration, the alternation of the pattern has stopped for each texture. Does anybody have advice on how to fix this? What is missing in my code currently that's stopping the reversing of the stripes??
Can anyone provide advice? My code is below - some very small bits of it my redundant/irrelevant, I'll clean it up later.
% Clear the workspace and the screen
sca;
close all;
clearvars;
%Screen('Preference', 'SkipSyncTests', 1);
% Here we call some default settings for setting up Psychtoolbox
PsychDefaultSetup(2);
% Get the screen numbers
screens = Screen('Screens');
% Draw to the external screen if avaliable
screenNumber = max(screens);
% Define black and white
white = WhiteIndex(screenNumber);
black = BlackIndex(screenNumber);
grey = white / 2;
% Open an on screen window
[window, windowRect] = PsychImaging('OpenWindow', screenNumber, grey, [0 0 400 400]);
ifi = Screen('GetFlipInterval', window);
% Query the maximum priority level
topPriorityLevel = MaxPriority(window);
% Get the size of the on screen window
[screenXpixels, screenYpixels] = Screen('WindowSize', window);
%%%%%%%%%Stripe information
% Get the centre coordinate of the window
[xCenter, yCenter] = RectCenter(windowRect);
cx = (screenXpixels/2);
cy = (screenYpixels/2);
% Make a base Rect of 200 by 200 pixels
dimx = cx;
dimy = cy;
baseRect = [0 0 dimx dimy];
pos = [cx- dimx/2 ,cy - dimy/2,cx+ dimx/2 ,cy + dimy/2];
% Make the coordinates for our grid of squares
[xPos, yPos] = meshgrid(-2:0.5:2, -2:0.5:2);
% Calculate the number of squares and reshape the matrices of coordinates
% into a vector
[s1, s2] = size(xPos);
numSquares = s1 * s2;
xPos = reshape(xPos, 1, numSquares);
yPos = reshape(yPos, 1, numSquares);
% Scale the grid spacing to the size of our squares and centre
xPosLeft = xPos .* dimx + screenXpixels * 0.25;
yPosLeft = yPos .* dimy + yCenter;
xPosRight = xPos .* dimx + screenXpixels * 0.75;
yPosRight = yPos .* dimy + yCenter;
% Set the colours of each of our squares
% light grey and dark grey colours
bwColors = repmat([0.55 0.46; 0.55 0.46], 5, 5);
bwColors = bwColors(1:end-1, 1:end-1);
bwColors = reshape(bwColors, 1, numSquares);

multiColors = repmat([0.45 0.58; 0.45 0.58], 5, 5);
multiColors = multiColors(1:end-1, 1:end-1);
multiColors = reshape( multiColors, 1, numSquares);
multiColors = repmat( multiColors, 3, 1);
%black and white colours
board3 = repmat([1 0; 1 0], 5, 5);
board3 = board3(1:end-1, 1:end-1);
board3 = reshape(board3, 1, numSquares);
board3 = repmat(board3, 3, 1);

I have figured out how to do the timing, it was as simple as setting waitframes to the correct thing. But now the flickering/alternation/reversal of the pattern has stopped. Do you have any advice?
