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

-cc | --cave-configuration FILE
Specify the file FILE that defines the displays for a cave. It is used only with CaveRenderModule.
 
--compare-view OPT
Compare the viewport to a reference image, and exit.
 
--connect-id ID
Set the ID of the server and client to make sure they match.
 
--data DATA
Load the specified DATA.
 
--data-directory DIR
Set the data DIR directory where test-case data are.
 
-dr | --disable-registry
Do not use registry when running ParaView (for testing).
 
--exit
Exit application when testing is done. Use for testing.
 
/? | --help
Displays available command line arguments.
 
--image-threshold THRESH
Set the threshold THRESH beyond which viewport-image comparisons fail.
 
-m | --machines FILE
Specify the network configurations file FILE for the render server.
 
--run-test CASE
Run a recorded test case CASE.
 
--run-test-init CASE
Run a recorded test initialization case CASE.
 
-s | --server NAME
Set the name NAME of the server resource to connect with when the client starts.
 
--stereo
Tell the application to enable stereo rendering (only when running on a single process).
 
--test-directory DIR

-V | --version
Give the version number and exit.
