[FieldTrip] ft_plot_topo3d crash

[Belluscio, Beth (NIH/NINDS) [E]]

I ran into this problem a couple of months ago using a VNC connection on a PC platform.  I used the following command:   opengl neverselect    at the prompt to force Matlab to use a different function.  It hasn't crashed since.  I assume this would work for a mac platform as well. 

good luck!
Beth.

Hi,

I just ran into the same problem on my 64bit OSX Lion using the "triplot"-function.
The problem is, that switching to software-openGL is not supported:

>> opengl software
Warning: Switching to software OpenGL rendering is not supported on the MAC platform

Does anyone have a hint how to change the renderer?

Best,
Julian
