[Paraview] configuration file for tiled display?

[Charles Law]

Jean,

ParaView does have a simple option to use tiled displays, but I have not 
added the ability to define the displays in a configuration file 
yet.  ParaView assumes that the displays are coplanar so I do not know how 
the hemispheric display would look.  Display arrangement could be much more 
flexible if we added a configuration file.

For now, you control the display configuration with command line options:

--use-tiled-display --tile-dimension-x=3 --tile-dimension-y=1

You would have to start ParaView with 4 processes.  The user interface is 
shown in processes 1 and the other three processes render to the tiled 
displays.


There is also no support (currently) for specifying which Xdisplay to 
use.  This could also be added to a configuration file.


Charles.
