Moving a line forward

Hello,

I am sorry for the quite general quesion, but I am having issues with making any of my things work. I need to create a moving front so that when I start from one point, or a line, I can start moving that line forward, by some ammount in the x axis and plot the new line.

1. I tried a for loop that should create a new line, and colour the new area starting from the initial line. I tried this with this code, but it didnt work.

a = 1;
c = 2;
 b = [ 0 , 0];
 
 %Create Initial Straight line 
 
 for k =i:6
     a1(i) = a+1;
     c1(i) = c+1;
     d = [a1; c1];
 end

1. Create some sort of difusiuon algorithm that simulates the same thing again.

What is "i" in "for k =i:6"? b is not used anywhere. The loop counter k is not used also. When you speak on an X axis, do you want to create a diagram? What do you call a "new line"?

Please try again to explain, what you want to achieve.

Hi,

From my understanding, you want to plot a line, and then move it some units with respect to x axis and plot it.

You can drawnow function

For example, you have a plot

x = 1:5;
y = 1:5;
plot(x,y);

Now you want to shift the line by 3 units from x axis

y =y+3;
plot(x,y);
drawnow

It will update the figure with the new plot

For more information and examples, refer to the documentation page.

creating new files and moving in files to and fro. how it is possible

exampl: Hem/lecture1/test1

Hem/lecture1/test2
