Update (x,y) position of moving object

Hello,

I would like some insight as to how I can dynamically show the (x,y) points on a moving object in Matlab.

I am moving a ball around the origin and wanted to keep tracking the (x,y) coordinates (the center point of the ball) on the plot.

Here is my code:

close all; clc; clear;

% Define position of arm
theta=0:10:360; %theta is spaced around a circle (0 to 360).
r=0.03; %The radius of our circle.
%Define a circular magenta patch.
x=r*cosd(theta) + 0.075;
y=r*sind(theta) + 1;

% Size figure and draw arms
figure('position', [800, 300, 600, 550]);
myShape2=patch(x,y,'m');
set(myShape2,'Xdata',x,'Ydata',y);
axis([-1.5 3 -1 3]); grid on;

T=0.15; %Delay between images
for theta = pi/2:-pi/90:0,
    if theta >= pi/4;
        theta = theta;
    else
        theta = pi/2 - theta;
    end
    Arot = [sin(theta) cos(theta); -cos(theta) sin(theta)];
    xyRot = Arot * [x; y]; % rotates the points by theta
    xyTrans = xyRot; % translates all points by 0.1

      set(myShape2,'Xdata',(x+xyTrans(1, :)),'Ydata',(y+xyTrans(2, :)));
      text(x,y,['(' num2str(x) ',' num2str(y) ')'])
      pause(T); %Wait T seconds
  end

Hello, Thank you for your input. I get an error that the "Index exceeds matrix dimensions". This is due to the n = n+1 your suggestion has. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks again.
