How to stop the subplot at different time loop

I have a function that loop trough time and I would like to subplot the result at a different time so that I can see the differrence.

for example, the function start t = 0 and finish at t = 10. For the first subplot I want it stop at t = 5 and second subplot I want it stop at t = 10.

Anyway, for my case I am using the surf function to plot my graph (it is 2D analysis)

By time do you just mean loops? Like this:

figure
for i = 1:20
    x = rand(100,1);

    if i==1
        subplot(1,2,1)
        boxplot(x);
        title('loop 1')
    elseif i==10
        subplot(1,2,2)
        boxplot(x);
        title('loop 10')
    end
end

If you mean actual runtime of the function you can do something similar with tic and toc, but you have to make sure you only plot each plot once:

figure
tic; % start timer
times_to_stop = [1 3 7 10]; % times to plot at in seconds
plot_vector = true(size(times_to_stop)); % we will set these to false as we plot things

for i = 1:101
    % some operation you want to complete goes here
    x = rand(100,1)*100; 
    % your operation finishes here

    tnow = toc;
    if any(times_to_stop<tnow & plot_vector)
        subplot(1,length(times_to_stop),find(plot_vector,1,'first'))
        boxplot(x);
        title(sprintf('time = %.1f',toc))
        plot_vector(find(plot_vector,1,'first')) = false; % now we have plotted it we don't want to replot it on future loops
    end
    pause(.1)
end

Hope this helps,
