Hi. I am trying to make an animation of the trajectory (circular orbit of 7000 km altitude) of a satellite orbiting the Earth. The following vectors x,y,z represents the coordinates of it (obtained integrating the acceleration due to the nonspherical gravitational potential) in the reference system.

where oaxes is a FEX application that allows getting an axes located (in this case) at the origin (0,0,0) of the PlotBox.

I have read the User Guide's Graphics section in the Matlab Help Browser. It recommends to use low-level functions for speeding the graphics output (this is the reason for which I use the line function instead of plot3) and the renderer painters for line graphics. In my case, I can not use it because I have a surface (the Earth) which is not well drawn by it. I want to get something similar to this (I have tried to get in touch with the author but I have not got response). The final result is a slow (it takes 11.4 seconds in my computer with microprocessor intel core i5) and discontinuous animation (perhaps I need more points to get the blue point's movement looks like continuous but the integrator's output points are invariable). I would like to know what I should make to improve it. Thank you for your attention. Cheers.

Hi,

I'm not sure where the problem is: running your code looks fine to me (the animation takes about 2.5s). A slight improvement would be

handles.htray = line(x(1:2), y(1:2), z(1:2), 'color', 'red', 'linewidth', 3);

while k<u2

set(handles.htray, 'xdata', x(1:k), 'ydata', y(1:k), 'Zdata', z(1:k));

...

but that's it ...

@Titus Edelhofer: Thank you very much for your answer. There is something wrong then. The animation takes 11.4 seconds in my computer (intel core i5). I do not understand why this occurs.
