Athira - it looks l like this boolean/logical flag is used to plot the data or not

        if plotFlag
            figure(12345),clf,hold on
            if numDim == 2
                plot(dataPts(1,:),dataPts(2,:),'.')
                plot(dataPts(1,myMembers),dataPts(2,myMembers),'ys')
                plot(myMean(1),myMean(2),'go')
                plot(myOldMean(1),myOldMean(2),'rd')
                pause
            end
        end

Note that if you don't provide a value for this input parameter, then the code defaults this flag to false (and so the above figure with plots will not be created).
