Syntax

comet3(z)
comet3(x,y,z)
comet3(x,y,z,p)
comet3(ax,...)

Description

A comet plot is an animated graph in which a circle (the comet head) traces the data points on the screen. The comet body is a trailing segment that follows the head. The tail is a solid line that traces the entire function.

comet3(z) displays a 3-D comet graph of the vector z.

comet3(x,y,z) displays a comet graph of the curve through the points [x(i),y(i),z(i)].

comet3(x,y,z,p) specifies a comet body of length p*length(y). p must be between 0 and 1.

comet3(ax,...) plots into the axes ax instead of into the current axes (gca).
