Robot tool box - provides many functions that are useful in robotics including such things as kinem

%SLPLOTBOT	S-function for robot animation
%
% This is the S-function for animating the robot.  It assumes input
% data u to be the joint angles q.
%
% Implemented as an S-function so as to update display at the end of
% each Simulink major integration step.

function [sys,x0,str,ts] = splotbot(t,x,u,flag, robot)
	switch flag,

	case 0
		% initialize the robot graphics
		[sys,x0,str,ts] = mdlInitializeSizes;	% Init
		plot(robot, zeros(1, robot.n))

	case 2
		% come here on update
		if ~isempty(u),
			plot(robot, u');
			drawnow
		end
		ret = [];
	case {1, 4, 9}
		ret = [];
	end
