postmovie
Purpose
postmovie
Postprocessing animation function.
Syntax
Description
postmovie(fem,...)
postmovie({fem1,fem2,fem3,...},...)
M = postmovie(fem,...) % MATLAB only
postmovie(fem,...) is the general solution animation function. It supports all
property/value pairs that postplot supports, and in addition to that, it supports a
set of property/value pairs that is exclusive for animation.
The input fem must be a FEM structure or a cell array of FEM structures. When it
is a cell array, the properties solnum and t must, if specified, be cell arrays of the
same size as fem. In this case, the FEM structures must have the same solution type,
for example, all time-dependent solutions.
M = postmovie(fem,...) additionally returns a matrix in the MATLAB movie
format. Alternatively, in COMSOL Script, you can store the animation in a file using
the property Filename.
The command can generate a sequence of image files containing all images in the
movie. In addition, the command can generate an AVI movie file.
Valid property/value pairs for the postmovie function are given in the following
table. In addition, all postplot parameters are supported and are passed to
postplot. See the entry on postplot for a description of the post data formats.
