How to plot using the mod function?

2 views (last 30 days)
I'm trying to plot an energy graph, and I'm having trouble plotting both the mod function. I don't understand why I cannot plot each point when mod(t,etime) == 0 and mod(t,ptime) == 0. The mod(t,etime) == 0 function only plots at the end, and I would like it to plot continuously. Could someone please help me figure this out?
function MDSim(T,sigma,m,dt,rc,L,k,ptime,etime)
tempcontrol=input('Would you like Temperature Control? [Y/N] \n','s');
while (tempcontrol ~= 'n' && tempcontrol ~= 'y')
tempcontrol=input('Would you like Temperature Control? [Y/N] \n', 's');
end
[xpos,ypos,vx,vy]=Initialize(sigma,L,k);
h=cell(8);
for i=1:64
h{i}=rectangle('Position',[xpos(i)-0.5*sigma ypos(i)-0.5*sigma sigma sigma],'Curvature',[1 1], 'FaceColor','b');
axis equal
end
t=0;
while T > t
t=t+1;
[xpos,ypos,vx,vy,U_tot,K_avg_tot,E_tot]=Step(xpos,ypos,vx,vy,dt,m,L,sigma,rc,k,tempcontrol);
if mod(t,ptime) == 0
for j=1:64
figure(1);
set(h{j},'Position',[xpos(j)-0.5*sigma ypos(j)-0.5*sigma sigma sigma])
axis equal
end
hold on
drawnow
hold off
end
if mod(t,etime) == 0
%disp(['Total Energy is: ', num2str(E_tot)])
figure(2);
plot(t,(U_tot),'rd', t,(K_avg_tot),'b+',t,(E_tot),'m*')
title('Total Energy (E), Potential Energy (U),Kinetic Energy (K) vs. Time (s)');
xlabel('Time (ds)');
ylabel('Energy (J)');
legend('E','U', 'K', 'Location', 'EastOutside');
hold on
drawnow()
hold off
end
end
end

You appear to be successfully plotting at the times you would like to. You just are not asking for the plot that you think you are.
if mod(t,etime) == 0
disp(['Total Energy is: ', num2str(E_tot)])
disp(count);
plot(t, (U_tot), '*') %notice change
axis equal
%scatter(t,E_tot);
%set(ph, 'XData', t);
%set(ph,'YData', U_tot);
%,t,K_avg_tot,'-',t,E_tot,'-')
hold on %notice change
drawnow() %notice change
end

After
h{i}=rectangle('Position',[xpos(i)-0.5*sigma ypos(i)-0.5*sigma sigma sigma],'Curvature',[1 1], 'FaceColor','b');
and
hold on
