Matlab Equivalent to Vpython Trail

Essential what the title says. I am currently modeling an animation of multiple spheres using a while loop. I am wondering if there was a way to model the trajectory of the spheres like the trail function in Vpython can.

I am not familiar with Vpython, but the comet function and its friends (links at the end of the comet documentation page) might be what you want.

Ah, that seems like it would work. Any idea on how I would get this to work in a loop? I have a sphere with on a set of coordinates that updates every loop but when I put comet in the loop it just shows the blue dot each time without the trail.

I’m not sure.

If you have R2015a, another option (that I also haven’t done a lot with recently) is the animatedline function.
