Settings

This branch gives options to set the openGL properties.

Enable Transparency	Specify whether to enable transparency. This is also controlled by the system variable @OGLT. Enable Disable Note:Transparency is disabled for OpenGL version lower than 2.1.
Enable Anti-aliasing	Specify whether to enable anti-aliasing. Hint message will show below when an option is selected.This is also controlled by the system variable @OGLFA. No anti-aliasing Multi-samples anti-aliasing This gives the best quality of anti-aliasing, but the speed will be relevantly slower. Fast approximate anti-aliasing This gives faster speed than multi-samples anti-aliasing but the quality may not be as good. Note:Anti-aliasing may not work for all openGL versions lower than 2.1.0 (including 2.1.0).
Enable Anti-aliasing for Export/Print	Specify whether to enable anti-aliasing when exporting or printing graphs.This is also controlled by the system variable @OGLFAE. The options are the same with the Enable Anti-aliasing drop-down list.
Enable Display List	Specify whether to use the display list. This is also controlled by the system variable @OGLDL. This is only useful when openGL version is higher than Intel 3.3. This shall be used if enabling transparency make the plot disappear. Note:@OGLDL=0 means disable display list and @OGLDL=1 means enable.
