visualizing large datasets in matlab

Hi all,

I'm trying to visualize very large datasets with matlab to create a publication quality figure. While I can create the plot successfully and save the figure, this freezes matlab and I have to force quit and restart. It doesn't seem like the memory usage by the matlab application is excessive (< 2GB). Has anyone encountered this behavior? Does anyone know what the problem is? and does anyone know how to fix this? I read the tutorial on handling large datasets, but it never mentions this specific issue. Thanks

Have you tried changing renderers (zbuffer opengl)? or use this FEX submission

export_fig

thanks for the suggestion! I tried all three different renderers as well as export_fig. while export_fig is totally awesome and takes less time to save the figure (thanks!) matlab still hangs after saving the figure and i still have to restart, so problem not solved.. yet.
