Why doesn't "opengl software" work on Mac OS X Matlab?
macos, matlab, opengl
Solution
From the documentation: "Note that Macintosh systems do not support software OpenGL." Matlab does have OpenGL hardware rendering, though, and AFAIK any Mac you're likely to use supports hardware OpenGL. Try `opengl hardware`; if that works, it should do transparencies also.
Problem
So I've found a solution to using transparencies in Matlab and that is the command ``` >> opengl software Warning: Switching to software OpenGL rendering is not supported on the MAC platform > In opengl at 76 ``` This feature isn't allowed in Matlab on Mac OS X. Can someone tell me why and if there is a work around?
