refreshdata over a plot handle ?

[b0b]

Hi,

I am trying to do this:

scatter(dataPts(:,1),dataPts(:,2));

hold on;

plot(0,0,'xDataSource','curveFitPts(:,1)','yDataSource','curveFitPts(:,2)');

hold off;

# later in a loop..

refreshdata(gcf(),'caller');

drawnow;

But the problem is, calling refreshdata over the figure handle removes the earlier scatter plot also.

I guess if there would be a way to simply do a refreshdata over a plot handle rather than the entire figure would keep the scatter plot permanently. Any body know how to do that ?

I think you'll need to "hold on" in order to preserve the other plot objects.

scatter(dataPts(:,1),dataPts(:,2));
hold on;
plot(0,0,'xDataSource','curveFitPts(:,1)','yDataSource','curveFitPts(:,2)');
hold off;
# later in a loop..
hold on;
refreshdata(gcf(),'caller');
hold off;
drawnow;

Please keep the mail-list in the loop (reply-all).  We prefer bottom posting as it makes it easier for the reader to follow along.

I don't have your script, so I created a short demo that works for me.
