Animate a set of data(x and y values only)

[dgarzase]

I have a set of data that has appx 27,000 lines. The data is in excel. I can plot the data from tables but is it possible to animate the data starting from the beginning of the data? The data mimics a hysteresis graph and plots nicely. I would like to animate the data.

[RichardJ]

You can animate a graph in Mathcad 15, but not in Mathcad Prime.

Richard,

Say I have a set of data as such,

2	0
3	0.15
4	0
5	-0.15
6	0
7	1
8	0
9	-1
10	0
11	1.5
12	0
13	-1.5
14	0
15	1.7
16	0
17	-1.7
18	0
19	1.71
20	0
21	-1.71
22	0
23	2.8
24	0
25	-2.8
26	0
27	2.95
28	0
29	-2.95
30	0
31	3.2
32	0
33	-3.2
34	0
35	4
36	0
37	-4
38	0
39	6
40	0
41	-6
42	0
43	8
44	0
45	-8
46	0
47	9.2
48	0
49	-9.2
50	0
51	10

How do I take this data and animate?

[RichardJ]

Which version of Mathcad do you have?

What do you want to animate? Do you want to show one point on a graph that starts at 2, 0, then moves to 3, 0.15, etc?

[dgarzase]

I have 14 in my personal laptop and 15 at work computer.

You are correct, start 2,0 then 3,0.15 and so on.

Final graph below.

I also have a larger file with a-lot more data but if I can do this one, the larger one should not be a problem.

See the attached worksheet.

Thank you Richard, this is exactly what I was looking for. I will be in contact if the larger file does not work.

Richard,

What if you have 10,000 or more rows of data? How do you animate?

[RichardJ]

You need a high frame rate.

Got it, thank you.
