MATLAB Release Notes

OpenGL Renderer Feature -- Microsoft Windows

If you do not want to use hardware OpenGL, but do want to use object transparency, you can issue the following command.

• feature('UseGenericOpenGL',1)
  

This command forces MATLAB to use generic OpenGL on Microsoft Windows platforms. Generic OpenGL is useful if your hardware version of OpenGL does not function correctly and you want to use image, patch, or surface transparency, which requires the OpenGL renderer.

To reenable hardware OpenGL, use the command

• feature('UseGenericOpenGL',0)
  

Note that the default setting is to use hardware OpenGL

To query the current state of the generic OpenGL feature, use the command

• feature('UseGenericOpenGL')
  

See the opengl reference page for additional information.
