See, that's the trick.. "Reduced" Geometry on the client. How do I get this mystical "reduced" geometry on the client,w ith full-rez on the display?<br><br>No matter what I set "Client collect" to, my 60+ million triangle surface is shown as mere bounding boxes to the client.

cannot get an image (while simultaneously displaying on a tiled display). If you
think about it, it would mean that paraview would have to do two compositing
passes, one for the tiled display and one for the client composite
image.</font></span></div>

creating reduced size image to deliver to the client when in tile display
mode. ParaView does, however, send a reduced sized geometry to the
client when LOD is enabled. You may want to try playing with the "LOD
resolution" and "Client Collect" options to try to get a nice reduced
geometry to the client.</span></font></p>

<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In a
followup to yesterday's question, is there any way to have the image that is
displayed on the Tiled-display rendered to the local client as well?
Right now my local Paraview client shows just bounding boxes. The
geometry in question is far too big to have the "geometry" send back (Which
it seems there is a "Client Collect" option for), I really just need
framebuffers composited & sent back (Like in the MPIRenderModule).
<br><br>Is there a way to enable such behavior? I know the resolution
would, of course, be much worse on the single display but it would help alot
in just knowing what's going on. Also, it seems the options to
"Set Center" doesn't work on the client unless the geometry is shown
(Presumably because the OpenGL query stuff doesn't work if no geomtry is
shown). <br clear="all"><br>--
