Why do I get white line artifacts in my image when rotating a 3-D SURF plot in MATLAB 7.1 (R14SP3)?

If I create a 3D plot using SURF and then rotate the image so that only one flat plane is displayed, there is a white outline artifact around the edges of the plot. It shows up in the figure window and when the image is exported.

The white line is an artifact of the OpenGL renderer. To work around this issue, change the renderer to 'painters', using the following command:
set(gcf,'renderer','painters')
Likewise, when exporting the figure, you can use the following code to specify the renderer:
print('-djpeg', '-r90','-painters', jpgfilename)
This will create a '.jpg' file using the painters renderer.
