Makin' Matlab Movies
 

I originally posted this in Knowledge, and it was suggested that I move it here:

In Matlab, I'm trying to make a movie (an animation of a robot) using
M = moviein(n);

M(:,j) = getframe;

movie(M);

At the end, the movie plays alright. However, before the movie plays itself, it shows each frame as it is plotted. I've tried turning the image frame off, but the getframe command turns it back on. The best I can do is turn the frame off in the for loop after the getframe command, but that just makes the frame flicker on and off. Is there any way to stop the getframe method from turning the frame on?
