Creating movie in matlab

Creating movie in matlab is not so fun. I would suggest saving each picture and using gimp to create the gif instead.

% Script file firstmovie.

% Graphs of y = sin(kx) over the interval [0, pi],
% where k = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

m = moviein(5);
x = 0:pi/100:pi;
for i=1:5
h1_line = plot(x,sin(i*x));
set(h1_line,'LineWidth',1.5,'Color','m')
grid
title('Sine functions sin(kx), k = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5')
h = get(gca,'Title');
set(h,'FontSize',12)
xlabel('x')
k = num2str(i);
if i > 1
s = strcat('sin(',k,'x)');
else
s = 'sin(x)';
end
ylabel(s)
h = get(gca,'ylabel');
set(h,'FontSize',12)
m(:,i) = getframe;
pause(2)
end
movie(m)
