Lets write simple script to display triangle as follows

Create Following Script in MatLab& Run.

clc

clear all

close all

x=[0,1,2]

y=[0,1,0]

plot(x,y,'Color','blue','LineWidth',1);

area(x,y,'FaceColor','green');

Now save it & run,IF you got low level graphic error then

cd /usr/local/MATLAB/R2024b/bin

now launch matlab as

./matlab -softwareopengl

Now Try to run script if this time script render

triangle then

In Matlab terminal

opengl('save','software')

This will add prefernces to matlab wrt opengl

Exit & launch Matlab from Launcher instead of command line &

recheck if it is rendering Triangle as previously.
