different titles for animation

Hi friends,

I have a code to make an animation which is fine and works but i need to creat title for each map

in this animation. I tried but couldn't make it as a loop.

Maps are monthly for 40 years from 1979:2018. the titles should be like: {'Jan 1979', 'Feb 1979',.................'Dec 1979', 'Jan 1980'.........}

and so on (12 month for each year).

could some body help me please?

thanks in advance

This is the main part of the code:

%% creat animat

for i=1:12

a=reshape(monthly(i,:),81,65);

a(~inMap)=nan;

for k=1:12

[c,h]=contourf(XX,YY,a ,'LineStyle','none');colorbar;

hold on

plot(lonos(:,1),latos(:,1),'black');

title (sprintf('% JAN 1979',k));

pause(1)

% input('-->','s');

end

end

I would suggest creating the title like this:

months = {'Jan', 'Feb', ...};
years = num2str((1979:2018)'); 
for i = 1:40
    for k = 1:12
    title(strcat(months{k}," ",years(i,:)));
end

strcat is a string concatenation -> It puts the strings together. I assumed the outer loop is meant to be years so I changed it from 12 to 40 since you mentioned 40 years.

-Also note, it is highly recommended that you do not use i as a variable. It is the built in constant for the imaginary number.
