opengl

Change automatic selection mode of OpenGL rendering

Syntax

opengl selection_mode

Description

The OpenGL autoselection mode applies when the RendererMode of the figure is auto. Possible values for selection_mode are:

• autoselect allows OpenGL to be automatically selected if OpenGL is available and if there is graphics hardware on the host machine.
• neverselect disables auto selection of OpenGL.
• advise prints a message to the command window if OpenGL rendering is advised, but RenderMode is set to manual.

opengl, by itself, returns the current auto selection state.

opengl info prints information with the version and vendor of the OpenGL on your system.

Note that the auto selection state only specifies that OpenGL should or not be considered for rendering, it does not explicitly set the rendering to OpenGL. This can be done by setting the Renderer property of figure to OpenGL. For example,

set(gcf,'Renderer','OpenGL')
