As far as I know they still draw to visible windows. (I wonder why... is there any technical reason to do so?) So I guess the case you describe is still applicable, however I know for having experimented it that "vglrun pvserver" does work. Do you mean that VGL's readback is superfluous and will therefore negatively affect performance? (Paraview having no benchmark facility it's difficult to investigate any claim of this kind...) -- Greetings, A.H. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Write once.
