function setopengl()

% SETOPENGL sets the graphics renderer to OpenGL.
%
%    SETOPENGL sets the current graphics renderer to OpenGL, if this
%    renderer is available on your system, and returns a warning otherwise.
%
%    Many 3d graphics features are rendered much better using OpenGL, so
%    it is suggested that it be used whenever possible.
%
%    SETOPENGL sets the 'Renderer' property of the current figure to
%    'OpenGL'.
%
%    Some graphics hardware may not support the OpenGL renderer, or may
%    cause certain Matlab routines to crash. For this reason, the choice
%    of whether to use OpenGL is left to the user.
%
%    See also OPENGL, FIGURE, GCF.
