function code
function [dtheta_dt]= pendulum_damped_ode(t,theta,b,g,l,m)
theta1=theta(1);
theta2=theta(2);
dtheta1_dt=theta2;
dtheta2_dt=-(b/m)*theta2-(g/l)*sin(theta1);
dtheta_dt=[dtheta1_dt;dtheta2_dt];
end


i got 1 error in getframe,earlier i was losing the figure window before completion so it was throwing error.
when i allowed all 500 intervals there was no error
