[Paraview] Paraview in Batch-Mode (Python) ...

[Peter Brady]

Stefan,

When building paraview, you need to add OSMesa support.  It's
described in the wiki here:
http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Setting_up_a_ParaView_Server#OSMesa_support

Then you can either run the server in off-screen-mode or set the flag
via python (i.e. view.UseOffscreenRenderingForScreenshots = 1).

Good luck,

Peter.
