tracing the path of a moving particle in using plot

Hi, I want to track the motion of a particle from start to end by tracing its path from start to finish. The particle is moving according to a set of rules. How do I do this?

Insufficient information about what you want the graph to look like, what information is available, whether you want to simulate the particle moving along a path.
Perhaps you want to use the new-ish animatedLine() function. Or perhaps you want to modify my code from http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/220473-how-can-i-use-the-plot-function-to-show-two-moving-points-with-different-velocities#answer_180901

yes, i am sorry. i don't know how to explain it further. it is an animation, yes. as the particle moves around the screen, i want the see the trace of the path it is traveling. right now, i can see the particle moving, and that is it.

If you have R2014b or later, just keep adding points with animatedline
You might also want to consider comet()
