Hello,

does test.m explain what you try to get, sorry not much time now, maybe 
today evening

clear
PI=3.1415926
x=0:0.1:4*PI;
x2=mod(x,2*pi);
y=sin(x)+x;
figure(1);clf
plot(x,y,'x-')
figure(2);clf
plot(x2,y,'x-')

a=x2(2:end)-x2(1:end-1);
a=mod(a,2*PI);
a=[x2(1),a];
x3=cumsum(a);
figure(3);clf
plot(x3,y,'x-');
