ParaView's display pipeline supports a huge number of rendering modes and options.
- The output of every filter can be displayed in one or many windows and supports arrays of comparative views.
- The rendering modalities and visible characteristics vary widely, from text mode to 2D plots, to volume rendering.
- Depending on ParaView's configuration that data can be generated rendered and displayed on different machines, in parallel, or it can be generated rendered and delivered within a single process.
- Run time data size checks determine where the data is rendered.
- It will display multiple views locally or in a cave or on tile display walls.
- During camera manipulation, the data and image may be down-sampled to maintain interactivity or full resolution images may be generated.
- The rendering architecture is extensible via plugins.
ParaView's display architecture is necessarily complex to support all of these requirements. We also periodically make improvements to it.
The architecture of ParaView's display for ParaView 2.x is explained in: The ParaView user's guide version 1.8 Chapter 22.
The architecture of ParaView's display for ParaView 3.0-3.8 is diagrammed here:
The architecture of ParaView's display for ParaView 3.10 and beyond is diagrammed here:
