Is it possible to update a line array in one shot instead of using a for loop? Here is example code. You can see I need to perform a for loop over the line array to update each X Y and Z coordinate pairs. I can't seem to figure out a way to do this in one shot to hopefully improve the speed. My end goal is to have this animation draw as quick as possible.
X = rand(2,2000);
Y = rand(2,2000);
Z = rand(2,2000);
figure;
view(45,45);
xlabel('X-dimen');
ylabel('Y-dimen');
zlabel('Z-dimen');
drawlines_time = tic;
AllLines = line (X,Y,Z, 'Color','b','LineWidth',[0.5]);
t = toc(drawlines_time);
fprintf('Time to draw lines %2.4f sec\n',t);
X = rand(2,2000);
Y = rand(2,2000);
Z = rand(2,2000);
redrawlines_time = tic;
for ii = 1:numel(AllLines)
AllLines(ii).XData = X(:,ii)';
AllLines(ii).YData = Y(:,ii)';
AllLines(ii).ZData = Z(:,ii)';
end
t = toc(redrawlines_time);
fprintf('Time to update lines %2.4f sec\n',t);
Output on my end:
Time to draw lines 0.8088 sec
Time to update lines 0.2910 sec
Significantly faster to update the handles, but I was hoping to improve the performance with maybe doing a "AllLines(:).XData = X" type function (which doesn't work)
