postanim
postanim
Purpose Shorthand command for animation in 1D, 2D and 3D.
Syntax
Description
postanim(fem,expr,...)
M = postanim(fem,expr,...) % MATLAB only
postanim(fem,expr,...) plots an animation of the expression expr. The
function accepts all property/value pairs that postmovie does. In 1D, this
command is just shorthand for the call
postmovie(fem,'liny',expr,...
'linstyle','bginv',...)
and in 2D, it is shorthand for
postmovie(fem,'tridata',expr,...
'tribar','on',...
'geom','on',...
'axisequal','on',...)
and in 3D, this command is just shorthand for
postmovie(fem,'slicedata',expr,...
'slicebar','on',...
'geom','on',...
'axisequal','on',...)
M = postanim(fem,expr,...) additionally returns a matrix in MATLAB movie
format. Alternatively, in COMSOL Script, store the animation in a file using the
postmovie property Filename.
If you want to have more control over your animation, use postmovie instead of
postanim.
Cautionary
When you are replaying a movie that has been stored in a matrix M, you should
explicitly provide a figure handle to the movie command.
M = postanim(fem,expr,...)
movie(gcf,M)
Otherwise the animation does not look good.
Compatibility The syntax of the command is not compatible with its corresponding FEMLAB 2.1
syntax.
