Hi All,

This question of pop-up windows comes up all the time, so I thought I'd report on a second option of configuring a second X-Screen. most of the time this will provide better rendering performance vs using OSMesa. Once you configure x this way you can launch pvserver/pvbatch on the second screen (eg. DISPLAY=:0.1 pvbatch ...). it seems that most recent graphics hardware (intel, ati, nvidia etc) can do this(link below). I've been using this on my workstation with nvidia and it works well. nvidia-settings was able to configure X for me. On other hardware it may be called Zaphod-heads. http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/X.Org/Dual_Monitors

Hi Pradeep,

If you don't want the window to pop up you'll need to use offscreen rendering with OSMesa. WriteAnimation() needs to create a window in order to generate the image. It is the same with WriteImage().

    Hello,

    I made my first PV python script using "Start Trace" and "End
    Trace". Now I am trying to run this script using pvbatch hoping it
    will execute everything on the command line and not display any
    graphics. I deleted the Render() statement which was at the end of
    the python script generated by Trace (file attached with this
    email). But still it keeps generating the image window and fails
    when I ssh without X option.

    I have attached the script file. I am executing pvbatch by the command

    $pvbatch export_movie.py

    Why is this happening?

    Thank you,
    Pradeep
