tic;
while toc < 120
figure;
axes;
plot(1:1000, rand(1, 1000));
pause(0.5);
delete(gcf);
end
Or equivalently:
startTime = clock;
while etime(clock, startTime) < 120
...
end
Another approach is a timer object:
TimerH = timer('ExecutionMode', 'singleShot', ...
'TimerFcn', @myCallback, ...
'StartDelay', 120);
myCallback('reset');
start(TimerH);
while true
pause(1.0)
disp(clock)
if myCallback('get')
break;
end
end
function Reply = myCallback(Arg1, EventData)
persistent Triggered
if ischar(Arg1)
switch Arg1
case 'reset'
Triggered = false;
case 'get'
Reply = any(Triggered);
end
return;
end
Triggered = true;
end
