[Paraview] PVX files

[Amy Squillacote]

Hi Joel,

I have attached a sample .pvx file. (It is the same one that was 
attached to the email announcing ParaView 2.2.1. If you are using a 
separate render server, the XML for specifying cave parameters would 
look something like the following. (If you aren't using a render 
server, change the first line to <Process Type="server">.) For each 
display in your cave, you'll need a separate "<Machine ... />" entry 
in the XML file. When you run ParaView, pass this XML file (*.pvx) as 
a command-line option to each executable you are running (pvclient, 
pvserver, etc.)

   <Process Type="render-server">
     <Machine Name="rs_m1"
              Environment="DISPLAY=rs_m1:0"
              LowerLeft="-1.0 -1.0 -1.0"
              LowerRight="1.0 -1.0 -1.0"
              UpperLeft="-1.0  1.0 -1.0" />

         ...

   </Process>
