Hi Ishan
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I am also trying to do something similar. For now I tried using Python on my mac with default binary build but it doesnt work. Hence I have same question to ask the Gurus here:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">1. I used CCMAKE to build paraview. CCMAKE, which is graphical/ncurses based, and in advanced mode - has hundreds of options (spread over 14 pages) that I dont remember myself which options I chose last time I built paraview myself. Hence instead
of ccmake, is there another command based way to build Paraview ? Or can I run CCMAKE first time and save the config file so that I remember what option I chose while building last time ? If yes then which file is generated as a result of ccmake that I can
copy and preserve and then use it again and again to rebuild with same parameters or change one or two paramteres (such as path to HDF5).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">2. I need to build paraview in client and server config with python, C++, MPI and HDF5 support. Is there a simple step by step guidance on wiki on how to do it ? </div>
<div class="">I found following by the way:</div>
<div class=""><a href="http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Setting_up_a_ParaView_Server" class="">http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Setting_up_a_ParaView_Server</a></div>
<div class=""><a href="http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/images/a/a1/Cluster09_PV_Tut_Setup.pdf" class="">http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/images/a/a1/Cluster09_PV_Tut_Setup.pdf</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Are these the only setup instructions? Or are there more pages / links somewhere.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks and Regards</div>

<div dir="ltr" class="">Hi, <br class="">
<br class="">
I have been using Paraview (directly run from binary) on my Mac for 2 years now and have used its python shell effectively to render images and save them by using scripts.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">But the current method involves on-screen rendering and I am currently limited by the size of my simulations. (Paraview starts hanging when I try and render over a million spheres) </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I have access to a cluster (Red Hat 6) where I can use MPI. I have looked at a lot of forums where there are discussions about offscreen rendering using Mesa. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">What I would love to do: Build paraview such that I can submit my python scripts on the cluster as jobs and have Paraview work on my vtp files in parallel and render images offscreen. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">If this is possible, can someone guide me as to how I can do that? The paraview wiki pages are slightly complicated for me and I am new to building libraries using the terminal. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks a lot ! </div>
