How to plot Message Signal using MATLAB ?? (Quick Question Need Help)

Hi,
I have an output for a FM transmitter in the form:
y(t) = cos ( 2*pi*t + 2*pi (integral from 0,t of m(tau) dtau ) )
I need to create a message signal of the following:
m_1(t) =
{
1 when cos(t) >= 0
-1 when cos(t) < 0
}
I need to create the message signal above in MATLAB and then find the corresponding FM signal.
However, I am unclear on how to graph the message signal.. Can you please show me how?
Thank you.

First, note that the integral of the message will be zero up to any multiple of 2*pi. The integral will then be a piecewise linear function that only requires evaluating on [0,2*pi). It's straightforward to do this by hand
pp = interp1([0, pi/2, 3*pi/2, 2*pi], [0, pi/2, -pi/2, 0], 'linear', 'pp');
int_m = @(t) ppval(pp, mod(t, 2*pi));
Then a plot of your FM signal will be
fplot(@(t) cos(2*pi*t) + 2*pi*(int_m(t)), [0 20])

m_1 = @(t) 2*(cos(t) >= 0) - 1
t = linspace(0, 100);
stairs(t, m_1(t))
