Trail option in plot in SerialLink.plot

[sath...@iiitd.ac.in]

Hello Peter, 

I would like to draw a line recording the tip path while using plot function. I have found an option called "trail" (http://www.petercorke.com/RTB/r9/html/SerialLink.html) for plotting. But, I could not find this option while using the plot function in toolbox.  Kindly comment.

Thanks and regards,

Sathish

The option is there, but it doesn't work as advertised.  It's on the fix list.

Many plot options are only parsed if the plot is generated from scratch, that is, there is no existing plot of that robot.  So if you clear all such figures then the trail option does work

p560.plot(q, 'trail', 'ro')

does indeed plot a trail of red circles along the path.

Peter,

It is necessary to include into TB documentation.

It is in the documentation, it's the first of the notes at the end.  I admit it is a very long documentation page.
