Volshow not working on Mac

Whenever I try to use the function volshow, Matlab crashes. I have Matlab_R2021b version on macOS Monterrey and have deleted the app and downloaded it again but that doesn't seem to solve the issue, any ideas?

Hey Paula,

I understand that you are trying to run the “volshow” function on MATLAB version 2021b and are encountering a crash.

One possible reason why this might be happening is that in the "volshow" function all the logical volumes are displayed using isosurface by default. But `isosurface` rendering doesn’t work on Apple M1 Mac. Please refer to the below documentation to know more about the “volshow” function:

To resolve this issue, please launch the “volshow” function as follows:

h = volshow(rtMask, 'Renderer','VolumeRendering')

Hope this helps!
