[Paraview] Paraview multiple display

[Moreland, Kenneth]

Your two follow-up questions seem to have nothing to do with the original question.  For the initial question, no there is no way to link cameras with a constant offset.  I don't have any good ideas how to do it, but I would recommend getting the one of ParaView's stereo modes to work.

As for the follow-up questions:

1. There is some specialness with the camera link that causes the renders to be synchronized along with the camera parameters.  I know of no easy way to do the same thing with property links (perhaps someone else knows some magic).  I'm not sure why you want to.  What is the point of implementing a camera link with property links?

2. There is no CameraRotation property.  I'll try not to spark a debate on why that is; suffice it to say that the underlying vtkCamera has no such support.

Hi Paraviewers.
I guess that I didn't make my question clear in my last email. Here comes two specific questions:
 1. I have tried camera link and property link separately to do my job. If I use camera link to link the camears in two views, after I rotate the camera in one view, the other camera will update itself automatically (The two views are exactly the same at all time). However, if I use property link, the other camera won't update itself unless I click on its view area (It needs focus to update). For property link, I only link two properties: "CameraPosition" and "CameraViewUp". Is there a way that I can make the other camera update itself automatically?
2. I can't find any CameraRotation property, is there a way to link the rotation matrix of camera in different views? That means, the two different cameras in the two different views will multiply the same rotation matrix after a rotation.
Thanks very much for your time!

Hi everyone.
I am trying to use paraview for side by side stereo display. I understand that I can link cameras between two display areas. The problem is that I don't know how to set a constant offset (like the distance between two eyes) of camera position for two linked cameras.  Dose anybody have any idea? Thanks very much!
