Paraview - Rendering and displaying program for small and large, three dimensional datasets.

SYNOPSIS

paraview [-cc | --cave-configuration FILE] [--compare-view OPT] [--connect-id ID] [--data DATA] [--data-directory DIR] [-dr | --disable-registry] [--exit] [/? | --help] [--image-threshold THRESH] [-m | --machines FILE] [--run-test CASE] [--run-test-init CASE] [-s | --server NAME] [--stereo] [--test-directory DIR] [-V | --version]

DESCRIPTION

Paraview 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.

Options

Specify the file FILE that defines the displays for a cave. It is used only with CaveRenderModule.

Compare the viewport to a reference image, and exit.

Set the ID of the server and client to make sure they match.

Load the specified DATA.

Set the data DIR directory where test-case data are.

Do not use registry when running ParaView (for testing).

Exit application when testing is done. Use for testing.

/? | --help
Displays available command line arguments.

Set the threshold THRESH beyond which viewport-image comparisons fail.

Specify the network configurations file FILE for the render server.

Run a recorded test case CASE.

Run a recorded test initialization case CASE.

Set the name NAME of the server resource to connect with when the client starts.

Tell the application to enable stereo rendering (only when running on a single process).

Set the temporary directory DIR where test-case output will be stored.

Give the version number and exit.
