10.3.1 Use Hardware-Accelerated OpenGL Renderer and Functionality
Modern computers often have hardware graphics accelerators (GPUs). MATLAB can often
use these accelerators in its OpenGL rendering implementation, in addition to the built-in
software implementation of OpenGL.
Note that only Unix and Windows (but not Mac) platforms have an OpenGL software
implementation; however, all MATLAB platforms support hardware acceleration in prin-
ciple. Whether or not MATLAB recognizes a specic hardware accelerator depends on the
specic case. Use the opengl('info') function to determine whether the hardware is recog ...
