I'm hoping to help do the non-trivial coding that will allow:
movie_handle = movie('file.mpg'); # or .avi or whatever
for i_frame = 1:50
x = <some data>;
plot_handle = plot(x);
movie_handle = addframe(movie_handle, plot_handle);
endfor
My guess is that the movie_handle will have properties like:
frames (handles to figure, axis, or image objects that show the image)
resolution (height and width in pixels)
filetype ('mpg', 'avi', etc-- whatever we can handle)
some more that I can't think of at the moment.
