[Paraview] Tiling configuration?

[Amy Squillacote]

Hi Phil,

Which machines are displaying their results on which tile?

The first machine in the list you pass to MPI is used as the upper left 
tile.  Subsequent machines fill in a single row, and then the rows are 
filled from top to bottom.  For your 2 x 2 tiled display to give the 
appropriate results, the machines should be controlling the tiles as shown 
below:

tigger3 tigger4
tigger5 tigger6

This issue is the same regardless of whether you use a .pvx file.
