[Paraview] [ParaView] data from multiple servers rendered in the same view

[Mathieu Westphal]

Hi Claude

Sadly, no, you can't.
However, one find you can do is use the interactive view link.
Right click on one view. add a CameraLink with the other view and check
"Interactive View Link"

You now have a "window" of a view into another view. Checkout the options
in the "adjust camera" dialog, you can set opacity and hide the background.

Regards,

Mathieu Westphal
