Which MATLAB code snippet correctly animates a point moving along the x-axis from 1 to 10?
Afigure; axis([0 10 0 1]); for x = 1:10; plot(x, 0.5, 'ro'); drawnow; pause(0.2); end
Bfigure; for x = 1:10; plot(x, 0.5, 'ro'); pause(0.2); end
Cfigure; axis([0 10 0 1]); for x = 1:10; plot(x, 0.5, 'ro'); pause(0.2); end
Dfigure; axis([0 10 0 1]); for x = 1:10; plot(x, 0.5, 'ro'); drawnow; end
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Set axis limits

    Use axis([0 10 0 1]) to fix the plot area so it doesn't rescale during animation.
  2. Step 2: Plot points in a loop

    Plot the point at each x position with plot(x, 0.5, 'ro').
  3. Step 3: Use drawnow and pause

    drawnow forces the plot to update immediately, and pause(0.2) slows the animation for visibility.
  4. Final Answer:

    Option A -> Option A
  5. Quick Check:

    Includes axis limits, drawnow, and pause [OK]
Quick Trick: Always fix axis and use drawnow with pause [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Omitting axis limits causes rescaling
  • Not using drawnow delays plot updates
  • Using pause without drawnow may not update plot
