how animate change in 2D graphs?

I am new to matlab as its being taught in my degree.

I have 6 diffrent graphs showing a beach profile over the span of 6 years. They are 2D graphs and I want to have them play one after the other to show the beach profile chaning in a video rather then looking at each graph individually.

Is this possible? its not something we have been taught yet but I really want to get a good grade in an assignement and im intrested in expanding my knowledge.

thank you for any help!

I would use animatedline to achieve this. Here's an example from the documentation.

h = animatedline;
axis([0,4*pi,-1,1])

x = linspace(0,4*pi,1000);
y = sin(x);
for k = 1:length(x)
    addpoints(h,x(k),y(k));
    drawnow
end
