How to remove data from a real-time plot after a certain period of time?

I am using the animatedline function to plot real time data which is inputted to Matlab from another system.

The data plots multiple loops (circles) but after the first few loops it is difficult to see where the current loop is exactly.

Is there a way to remove the data that has been plotted after a certain amount of time or only display x number of data points?

Thank you!

Have you seen the 'MaximumNumPoints' option of animatedline()?

Thanks Bruno, I keep forgetting about the animated line having been introduced...
