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?
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.
