Re: [Paraview] pvserver through ssh tunnel

Thanks David, That works great. If I can abuse this list just a little further for advice. Do you have any suggestions on compression levels both within paraview and for the ssh tunnel? To put this in context the server is being managed over the internet (so relatively slow connection). The files

Haven't seen that one. What does google say that that part of mesa is for? I am guessing that it is for video/movies and if so it doesn't matter to us. David E DeMarle Kitware, Inc. R&D Engineer 21 Corporate Drive Clifton Park, NY 12065-8662 Phone: 518-881-4909 On Wed, Mar 6, 2013 at 9:30 AM, P

The files should be resident near the server, so compression won't affect them (unless you are doing something in the Cloud, in which case I can't help you). For compression and its relationship to remote rendering, try the various presets on [Preferences|Settings]->Render View->Server David E De

May be my (very) short experience with pvserver and OSMesa can help... I've just build a config without any error messages. I've downloaded Mesa-7.11.2 and ParaView-3.98.1 sources. (see "[Paraview] Using paraview with pvserver" thread on this list) 1) build of Mesa-7.11.2 with: ./configure --w

Hi all, My monitor res is 1280x960. Once I lock the paraview window to 2000x1000, and in python shell call WriteImage("test.png"); the saved image is only the size that is displayed on the window. Is it possible to save the whole image? I know the option of clicking Save Screenshots on the control

Patrick, With legacy VTK format, ParaView does the following: 1. for unstructured data (vtkPolyData, vtkUnstructuredGrid etc), ParaView reads the entire file on the root node and then partitions and distributes the data among all processes so the rest of the processing i.e. filters, etc. can dist

Not as easy as it sounds since ParaView doesn't really have a notion of key-frame index. But try adding a new "Python" animation track and then using a script something like follows. When you play the animation you'll see the index increasing. # def start_cu

Not easily, but you can play with getting the vtkRenderWindow from the view (view.GetRenderWindow()) and then creating a vtkWindowToImageFIlter yourself and using it. Utkarsh On Wed, Mar 6, 2013 at 3:02 PM, Li Guan wrote: > Thank you Utkarsh! > An additional question, if I need to grab the "high
