由于您想要获得最佳性能，您应该考虑编写一个最小的 OpenGL 查看器。将所有点转储到文件并使用 MATLAB 中的“system”命令启动查看器。查看器可以非常简单。这是一个使用 GLUT 实现的，为 Mac OS X 编译的。代码是跨平台的，所以你应该能够为你提到的所有平台编译它。根据您的需要调整此查看器应该很容易。
如果您能够将此查看器与 MATLAB 更紧密地集成，则您可能无需对文件进行写入和读取（= 更新速度更快）。但是，我在这方面没有经验。也许您可以将此代码放在 mex 文件中？
编辑：我更新了代码以从 CPU 内存指针绘制一条线。

编辑：这是基于下面讨论的新代码。它渲染了一个由 20 个 vbos 组成的 sin 函数，每个 vbos 包含 100k 个点。每个渲染帧添加 10k 个新点。这使得总共2M点。性能在我的笔记本电脑上是实时的。
