Good morning all,

I have experienced some problems when trying to render images in parallel from 
a multipiece dataset using ParaView Catalyst. It seems to work when I connect 
live using the ParaView client - I see the full mesh, and a plot of 
vtkCompositeIndex looks sensible.

However when I try to render out images, one render window appears on screen 
for each parallel process (in a stack). The windows appear to contain one chunk 
each. If I manually grab the windows and spread them out so that each is 
visible on screen, then chunk zero plots updates to include the whole dataset, 
i.e. it looks as if it is grabbing the data from the screen.

Is there a way to make ParaView Catalyst render offscreen?

I am using ParaView 4.4.0 on my workstation (which has a graphics card) built 
from source using Superbuild without mesa.

When I run on a remote platform (no graphics cards) where I build ParaView 
using osmesa, the images render without creating a window and contain all the 
chunks.

Should I be using a separate ParaView build for my Catalyst simulations that is 
built with osmesa?

Apologies if there is not much to go on here - it would be tricky to share the 
simulation code and the catalyst adaptor code that I am using. If more 
information is needed, I'll try to put together a representative 
simulation/adaptor.

Thanks everyone,
Jim
