Re: Plotting and Animating in Octave (vs. Matlab)

[Jeff]

Hi Ron. I have not considered that because 1) I do not know how to write images to files, 2) I don't know how to write to a "sequential" file (and I only sort of get what you mean by a "sequential file", and 3) I've never heard of ImageMagick.

I will research ImageMagick tonight. If it's free (I suspect yes) I will try it out. Could you give me a hint how to write successive images to a file? A list of commands I need to read up on should be adequate (a small code snippet would be ideal).

text-based plot. Is that the best I can do? Is there a way to animate (my
second code)? If not animate, can I at least create a movie?

Have you considered writing the successive images to sequential files and then use the  "animate" program (part of ImageMagick?)
