[Paraview] Remote rendering with pvpython + grab remote image data

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Koija,

> But I have still no clue how to make the pvserver render the scene remotely and only transfer the rendered image to the pvpython client instead of all 3D datasets (which will be huge).

By default, ParaView will do remote rendering, if possible when the
geometry size exceeds ~20MBs. You can change it as following to force
remote rendering for all data.

...
simple.Show(simple.Cone())
view  = simple.GetActiveView()
view.RemoteRenderThreshold = 0
