.SH DESCRIPTION

\fBParaview\fP is a program for displaying and rendering of small to
large datasets in two or three dimensions.  It runs on a single
computer or on a cluster of nodes with distributed or shared
memory. The Visualization Toolkit (VTK) is used as processing and
rendering machine.


.SH Options 
.TP
\fB-cc\fR | \fB--cave-configuration\fR \fIFILE\fR
Specify the file \fIFILE\fR that defines the displays for a cave. It is used only
with CaveRenderModule.

.TP
\fB--compare-view\fR \fIOPT\fR
Compare the viewport to a reference image, and exit.

.TP
\fB--connect-id \fIID\fR
Set the \fIID\fR of the server and client to make sure they match.

.TP
\fB--data\fR \fIDATA\fR
Load the specified \fIDATA\fR.

.TP
\fB--data-directory\fR \fIDIR\fR
Set the data \fIDIR\fR directory where test-case data are.

.TP
\fB-dr\fR | \fB--disable-registry\fR
Do not use registry when running ParaView (for testing).

.TP
\fB--exit\fR
Exit application when testing is done. Use for testing.

.TP
\fB/?\fR | \fB--help\fR
Displays available command line arguments.

.TP
\fB--image-threshold\fR \fITHRESH\fR
Set the threshold \fITHRESH\fR beyond which viewport-image comparisons fail.

.TP
\fB-m\fR | \fB--machines\fR \fIFILE\fR
Specify the network configurations file \fIFILE\fR for the render server.

.TP
\fB--run-test\fR \fICASE\fR
Run a recorded test case \fICASE\fR.

.TP
\fB--run-test-init\fR \fICASE\fR
Run a recorded test initialization case \fICASE\fR.

.TP
\fB-s\fR | \fB--server\fR \fINAME\fR
Set the name \fINAME\fR of the server resource to connect with when the client starts.

.TP
\fB--stereo\fR
Tell the application to enable stereo rendering (only when running on
a single process).

.TP
\fB--test-directory\fR \fIDIR\fR
Set the temporary directory \fIDIR\fR where test-case output will be stored.

.TP
\fB-V\fR | \fB--version\fR
Give the version number and exit.
