Default PaperType and PaperUnits Set For International Users
The matlabrc.m startup file now sets the default PaperType and PaperUnits
properties based on ISO Country Codes. These default to
'a4' and
'centimeters' respectively for users in countries that normally default to
these settings. Other countries still default to
'usletter' and 'inches'.
The same values are used for default Simulink
PaperType and PaperUnits
properties in the
matlabrc.m startup file.
You can still set default
PaperType or PaperUnits values yourself by adding
the following to
startup.m.
set(0, 'DefaultFigurePaperType', 'a4')
set(0, 'DefaultFigurePaperUnits', 'centimeters')
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 re-enable 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.
