Ok, I just got it compiled and here's what I see.<br>1) Mullions work. Yipee!<br>2) The ScalarBar issue I reported yesterday, no longer happens (stays right where it's supposed to).. Yipee!<br>3) I see the Ordered Compositing checkbox now (wasn't in the
2.4.4 build I made)<br>4) Some of the progressbar updates don't come through now.. It's a minor thing, but a bit odd. Makes it look like it's locked up at times.<br>5) I no longer get bounding boxes on the client like I used to.. My client shows nothing but crosshairs.
<br>6) I still have issues with paraview being extremely slow on a restart. Although, I've made progress. <br> 1) Run Paraview.. Turn on Triangle Strips & Turn off Immediate mode. Everything is fine & dandy, 1s refresh rates.. Shutdown
<br> 2) Start paraview again, verify all options (Including Client Collect now) are preserved. See the 6-7s refresh times.<br> 3) Turn on Immediate Mode, wait for Redraw.. Turn off Immediate Mode, wait for redraw.
<br> 4) Witness the restored 1s refresh rates.<br> So it seems that perhaps these options aren't being propagated to the nodes at startup like they should be.<br><br>So if I can get my bounding boxes back, and we can get the restart issue thing figured out... I'ld be happy :)

your changes into the ParaView trunk and checked it in. If you can,
please check it out and make sure it works for you. I also think the
issues you are having with client collect have been fixed on the trunk
(vtkPVIceTRenderModuleUI.cxx 1.15). It would be nice to know you are
having problems before 2.6 gets released.</span></font></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Attached to this email,
find the diff patchfile of the Servers directory (the only directory affected
by this change). From my testing here it seems to work great. Took
a little while to get the mullions computed correctly during the subsampled
rendering, but it seems to work now.<br>
<br>
The one issue I've been unable to figure out is that, for an unknown reason,
the Client Collect gets mangled when Mullions are Enabled. I've looked
all over the place and I can't figure out how this parameter gets passed
around. When starting paraview the parameter is read correctly from the
.ParaViewrc and properly used, but when it's written back to the .ParaViewrc
file it's mangled (Originally it was writing it as 43676546, and now after a
full recompile it's writing it as 6, when both times it should be 100).
Also, when it comes in mangled like that, of course the first thing I do is
reset it to 100. Unfortunately, the rendering is significantly slower, as
if it's still computing the reduced geometry & transmitting it to the
client (Although the client does not render it). Manually resetting the
parameter in the .ParaViewrc & restarting paraview fixed it (for that 1
run).<br>
<br>
Any ideas?</span></font></p>

So, how should I return this patch back to you? I just tried doing a
'diff -Naur' to generate a patch for you, but it started including almost every
single file. Seems an "out of core" build isn't completly "out

This request is already captured as bug #1132:<br>
<a href="http://www.paraview.org/Bug/bug.php?op=show&bugid=1132&pos=1" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.paraview.org/Bug/bug.php?op=show&bugid=1132&pos=1</a>
<br>
<br>
This actually should not be too hard to implement since the underlying<br>
parallel rendering code already supports mullions. It's just a
matter of <br>
adding some new parameters to pvserver and spacing the tiles out<br>
differently.<br>
<br>
This bug has been on my to-do list for, gosh, over a year now. But,
since<br>
we rarely use tile displays anymore and the tile displays that we do have <br>
don't have any spaces or overlap, this has been the lowest priority and I<br>
never get to it.<br>
<br>
If someone would like to implement this (hint, hint) and make sure<br>
everything (rendering and annotation) is working correctly, I am perfectly <br>
happy to point to the correct sections of code to change.<br>
