Skipping through multiple histograms - one at a time?

Dear all,

I am searching for an elegant way to skip thorugh multiple histograms.

I am having a matrix B of size 250x95 which includes 95 different times series with 250 observations. To investigate the series, I want to plot the 95 different time series as a histogram, each one at a time. However I would like to have a coding which enables me to see the first histogram at the beginning and then by my intervention skipping to the next one, and then to the third one and so forth.

I know that I could put down hist(B(:,i)) and then for the index i the respective time series, however I know that it is possible to incorporate a kind of skipping function into a for loop which exactly enables me to move from the first index value to the second and so on. I have seen it at a presentation, however couldn't get the coding for it. :(

As I said, as far as I know is that it was done with a for loop. So to say:

for i =1:95

hist(B(:,i))

         <--- some kind of command here

end

Will be thankful for any help.

The simplest way: Insert a pause() which waits for keyboard input:

for ii = 1:10
  hist(randn(1000,1));
  pause
end

Now hit any key when you're done.

Of course you could build a more fancy utility for this (like a pushbutton on the figure etc.)

Thanks, that is exactly what I was looking for. :)
