To be or not to be

im trying to make a code to show the movements of particles on a graph. whenever the graph is plotted the particles dont move. How do I make the plots move over time?

I already made comments on your last question......your code need to be reconsidered......by the way your loop has only one step.

You need to add a drawnow() or pause() after the scatter.

It is recommended that instead of using scatter() inside the loop, that instead you scatter() once before the loop and record the handle that is returned. Then inside the loop, set() the XData and YData properties of the handle to reflect the new locations: that is more efficient than rebuilding the axes each time the way you are now.
