[Paraview] [Non-DoD Source] Building Paraview with OSMESA

[Angelini, Richard C (Rick) CIV USARMY RDECOM ARL (US)]

Stupid question – when you start up the pvserver process, are you passing it
the “—use-offscreen-rendering” flag?

mpirun –np 8 pvserver —use-offscreen-rendering …….

What’s your build platform?  I have lots and lots of build scripts I can
share!

Hi All,
 
I’ve been trying to compile a version of ParaView that uses osMesa. I’ve
tried to follow the process that is explained on the wiki
(Caution-http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/ParaView_And_Mesa_3D <
Caution-http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/ParaView_And_Mesa_3D >  ), but
I haven’t been able to get ParaView to render offscreen. I don’t have build
errors, but when I run something that saves a screenshot I still see a
window pop up on my screen. Would anyone be willing to share their
configuration script/command that they use for compiling ParaView with
osMESA?  

Also – If I have a python script that creates a screenshot of some geometry,
do I need to edit it in any way before running it with a version of ParaView
that uses osMesa? Or is all of that handled behind the scenes?


Thank you,
Chris N
