Line smoothing is very helpful for me. Thank you

In reply to Will Adler.

set(hPatch,'EdgeColor',get(gca,'color'), 'LineSmoothing','on')

is as close as you can get with HG1. In HG2 it should look much better since anti-aliasing is turned on by default and is supported across the board.

In reply to Greg. I also would appreciate an answer to Greg's question!

Thanks, this works well for my patch plots. Do you know if there is a similar command to smooth the edges of the patch itself such that if I turn off the lines of my patch the block shapes will have smoothed edges?
I prefer to use the patches with the lines set to off otherwise the objects appear larger than they really are.

[…] Line in Matlab can look really pixelated. To get around that, you need to turn on line smoothing. […]

In reply to nikhil. Line-smoothing is an OpenGL feature and so when you use it the figure changes its Renderer to 'OpenGL'. In this renderer some of the axes borderlines disappear. This problem occurs in all Matlab releases, not just 10b, and it is not related to LineSmoothing but rather to a bug when Matlab uses OpenGL hardware. For example, this will also display the bug:

plot(1:5,2:6); set(gcf,'Renderer','OpenGL')

The workaround is to use OpenGL software-simulation mode - this displays the borderlines correctly (note: software mode is slower than hardware mode):

opengl('software')

In reply to nikhil.

 
plot(1:5,2:6,'-','LineWidth',1,'LineSmoothing','on');
hold on; box on;

Sorry I forgot to copy the code in previous comment.

Hello Yair Altman,

When I run the program in R2010b and turn the lineSmoothing property to ‘on’ the border for the axis is disappearing. I tried to switch the ‘box’ property to ON and still doesn’t work like

But every thing looks fine when it’s run in R2012b. Would you please suggest some solution?

Such a great option and I didn’t know about! Thank you very much 🙂

In reply to Brad. @Brad - try using the ScreenCapture utility. If you insist on using the OpenGL buffer, read this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8862467/using-opengl-in-matlab-to-get-depth-buffer
