Setting the Rendering Method

A renderer is software and/or hardware that processes graphics data (such as vertex coordinates) in order to display, print, or export a figure.

MATLAB supports three rendering methods:

• OpenGL
• Z-buffer
• Painter's

For more detailed information about the rendering methods, see in the "Figure Properties" reference pages.

Comparing Rendering Methods

The OpenGL and Z-buffer methods draw figures using bitmap (raster) graphics.

The Painter's method draws figures using vector graphics. In general, Painter's produces higher-resolution results than OpenGL or Z-buffer.

However, OpenGL and Z-buffer work in situations where Painter's either produces inaccurate results or does not work at all.

For many figures, it is possible to use any of the rendering methods. There are certain situations, however, where only one or two methods will work:
