[Paraview] FW: paraview3.6.1/OSMesa rendering issue

[Lucy Gagliardi]

Hi,

 

I've recently installed Paraview3.6.1 with OSMesa 7.4.4 on a linux based
workstation (64bit). However, when running python scripts to set up and
output jpg (or png) files using pvbatch with the
--use-offscreen-rendering flag, the scripts run perfectly with no error,
however the output picture is garbled. I've tried a fresh install of
both Paraview and OSMesa to double check my configuration and the
compilation runs through fine with no errors. I'm trying to use the
OSMesa libraries installed in a shared location across a network instead
of on my local machine - could this be the source of the problem? The
python scripts only use Paraview as serial (i.e no parallel server) and
output the pictures fine if the --use-offscreen-rendering flag is not
used (and the OpenGL visualisation window opens). 

 

Any help with this would be great as I'm pretty stumped.

 

Cheers,

 

Lucy
