[Paraview] off screen rendering of images

[Mattijs Janssens]

You could try setting up an offscreen display using e.g. vnc or xfrb. 
I've never tried this but it should work ok. Start up a vncserver and a 
vncviewer and start up paraview inside the vncserver. You can start the 
animation and close/minimize the vncviewer once it has started. You will 
need a recent vnc which supports GLX. It will use software rendering 
though so might be slow.
