Can the following be done in gnuplot? If yes, how?
I have data for time vs position(x,y,z) in a table with t,x,y,z as headers.
I would like to know if I can somehow plot the same time vs position of the particle inside a predefined space with a pause after each time step; so that i can see the evolution of the particles position with time. I would also like to know if I can draw a continuous line from the previous position to the current position so that I can actually see the track of its past.
Example data:
Lets say the predefined space is a box of 10x10x10 and my particle has the following positions over 3 seconds.
t x y z
0 1 2 3
1 2 3 4
2 3 4 5
3 4 5 6
How do i see the tracking of the particle! my idea is that if i can pause the plot of every time step by a little bit, it will look like an animation which i can just capture using a screen capture software...
UNLESS, this data can be animated using gnuplot too
Is there any other software which does this more efficiently and/or elegantly if gnuplot is not the right tool!?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.
