[Paraview-developers] pvpython and force_offscreen_rendering on OS X

[Sgouros, Thomas]

Thank you. I'm chasing this issue, actually. Perhaps I've misdiagnosed it?

$ LightViz --paraview /Applications/ParaView-5.4.1.app --data
../mat-viz-mofTFF-90L-9.1lpm-100rpm


===============================================================================

| Execute:

| $ "/Applications/ParaView-5.4.1.app/Contents/bin/pvpython"

| -dr

| --force-offscreen-rendering

| "/usr/local/lib/node_modules/light-viz/server/pvw-light-viz.py"

| --content

| "/usr/local/lib/node_modules/light-viz/dist"

| --port

| 8080

| --data

| "../mat-viz-mofTFF-90L-9.1lpm-100rpm"

===============================================================================
