How to make a trajectory from position and Velocity data

Hello, I feel that this is a very easy question and i am mad that i have not figured it out myself.

I have position data (euler angles) and the coraspinding angualr velcoity and i want to generate a 2xn variable with both these variables.

if i do...

plot(eulerAngles(:,2), gyr(:,2)) this plot gives me the trajectory that i am trying to create. How do i save this trajectory as a single variable?

thanks for your help.

newVariable=[eulerAngles(:,2)';gyr(:,2)'];

Thanks for the reply david, i tried something simialr to this, but i do not understand the resulting outcome.

i understand that it is a row of position over velcoity vectors.

However, when i plot the newVariable i get a plot that looks like

newVariable=[eulerAngles(:,2)';gyr(:,2)']

what is this i am looking at here?

thanks for any advise.

If you look at the documentation for the plot() function, you cannot provide a matrix to it. You will need to do the following:

plot(newVariable(1,:),newVariable(2,:));%row 1 is eularAngles and row 2 is gyr

ohhhh i see, thank you very mcuh david. very helpful!
