vrplay

Play VRML animation file

Syntax

vrplay
vrplay(filename)
x=vrplay(filename)


Description

vrplay opens the 3D Animation Player, which you use to open and play virtual world animation files.

vrplay(filename) opens the 3D Animation Player and loads the virtual world filename.

x=vrplay(filename) also returns a 3D Animation Player figure handle.

vrplay works only with VRML animation files created using the Simulink^® 3D Animation™ virtual world recording functionality.

When you create additional vrplay windows using the File > New Window command, the window respects the current setting of the DefaultViewer property. By default, the File > New Window command creates the new player window implemented as a MATLAB^® figure.
