movieinPurposeSyntaxDescription2movieinAllocate matrix for movie framesM = moviein(n)M = moviein(n,h)M = moviein(n,h,rect)moviein allocates an appropriately sized matrix for the getframe function.M = moviein(n) creates matrix M having n columns to store n frames of amovie based on the size of the current axes.M = moviein(n,h) specifies a handle for a valid figure or axes graphics objecton which to base the memory requirement. You must use the same handle withgetframe. If you want to capture the axis in the frames, specify h as the handleof the figure.M = moviein(n,h,rect) specifies the rectangular area from which to copy thebitmap, relative to the lower-left corner of the figure or axes graphics objectidentified by h. rect = [left bottom width height], where left and bottomspecify the lower-left corner of the rectangle, and width and height specify thedimensions of the rectangle. Components of rect are in pixel units. You mustuse the same handle and rectangle with getframe.RemarksSee Alsomoviein is no longer meeded as of MATLAB Release 11 (5.3). In earlierversions, pre-allocating a movie increased performance, but there is no longera need to do this.getframe, movie2-304
