Why are the data and tick labels for my log or semilog plot displayed incorrectly when rendered in OpenGL?

For example:

 x=logspace(-2,0,500);
plot(x,((sin(1./x)).^2)./x);
set(gcf, 'Renderer', 'opengl')
set(gca,'XScale','linear','YScale','log');

This change has been incorporated into the documentation in Release 2010b (R2010b). For previous releases, read below for any additional information:

The OpenGL renderer does not support logarithmic scaling. As a workaround, render the figure using either the painters or zbuffer renderer. For example:

set(gcf,'renderer','zbuffer')
