Can’t use just use the existing 3D view by internally shutting off
distributed rendering for that view, which will cause the geometry
to be delivered to the client?
I want neither distributed rendering nor geometry rendered at the
client... I'd like geometry rendered on the rank 0 pvserver and image
delivery to the client. Is that possible? (Well, OK, I know it's
possible but how hard will it be?)

Hi all,
I'm looking to convert a (currently serial) VTK application into a
ParaView-style client (one that talks to a distributed set of pvserver
processes) and have a few questions about pqView, distributed data,
and remote display. My situation is that I have
1. large-distributed datasets as sources
2. pipelines which extract very small subsets of the data from #1
3. several vtkView subclasses which do 3-d rendering/interaction of
the subsets from #2 in a non-parallel way, and
4. clients which will be run on machines without decent 3-D rendering
hardware.
I would like to create new pqView classes that collect data from the
distributed pvservers to the rank 0 process, do the rendering on the
rank 0 pvserver process (using the serial vtkViews), and use
ParaView's remote image delivery mechanism to present the images to
the client.
Are there existing views that do this? Is the view the place where all
of this should be performed or are there other places where the data
aggregation should take place? I see that some of the OverView plugins
are client-side views but really what I'm looking for is rendering on
the rank 0 pvserver process, not the client.
Thanks,
David
