[FieldTrip] ft_plot_topo3d crash

[Julian Keil]

Hi,

thanks for your reply, unfortunately this did not help.
However, setting all the bug-workarounds in opengl to '1' did the trick.

If anyone else has this problem, here's how it worked for me:
* use "opengl info" to see if the workarounds are enabled
* set the workarounds to '1':
opengl('OpenGLBitmapZbufferBug',1)
opengl('OpenGLWobbleTesselatorBug',1)
opengl('OpenGLLineSmoothingBug',1)
opengl('OpenGLClippedImageBug',1)

Best,

Julian
