Animated surface plot of a parameter X Vs time

Question

For example, i have 100 datapoints(10 x 10 square surface) representing some parameter X and each point has an arbitrary value for a duration of 10 seconds. let's assume we have 10 values each after an interval of 1 second.

Thus, we have a total of 1000 values (for 100 geometric locations of single surface for a duration of 10 seconds)

I want to create an animated plot using some code either in any one of the programming language or any software such as Matlab.

How can we do this?
please help

Answer 1

it's fine.
the question is open to all and not only Matlab but any other programming language code will also do

Answer 2

@kirk Schafer

thanks for the info

I do not need an interactive plot.
a simple surface plot but with information of all time frames(10 seconds as mentioned previously) is sufficient at this point of time.

I hope it will make my question clear

Answer 4

Mathbox (acko.net) is a Javascript library specifically designed to fill the professional animation gap for mathematics presentations. If it looks interesting I could try to clean one up; I've learned more since these PoCs. They support zooming, panning, etc.

There are other good solutions (Python comes to mind) but I don't have a PC; a mobile solution in other langs could be too specific to my hardware.

If for some reason you want an interactive code widget, the next two use a free service (trinket.io) that can plug Python/VPython into a web panel. These are simply showing capability, note iframe is optional for VPython.

Answer 5

When I searched Trinket.io for flat plots, I discarded things like this because 'animation' was requested (a primary driver behind Mathbox).

Simple flat graph, Python:

The function viewer doesn't have to be interactive. I think I added that, but realistically Mathbox takes time to learn (might not be the right investment) when another lang may just work for you (better ROI).
