<BR>
I'm looking to convert a (currently serial) VTK application into a <BR>
ParaView-style client (one that talks to a distributed set of pvserver <BR>
processes) and have a few questions about pqView, distributed data, <BR>
and remote display. My situation is that I have<BR>
1. large-distributed datasets as sources<BR>
2. pipelines which extract very small subsets of the data from #1<BR>
3. several vtkView subclasses which do 3-d rendering/interaction of <BR>
the subsets from #2 in a non-parallel way, and<BR>
4. clients which will be run on machines without decent 3-D rendering <BR>
hardware.<BR>
<BR>
I would like to create new pqView classes that collect data from the <BR>
distributed pvservers to the rank 0 process, do the rendering on the <BR>
rank 0 pvserver process (using the serial vtkViews), and use <BR>
ParaView's remote image delivery mechanism to present the images to <BR>
the client.<BR>
<BR>
Are there existing views that do this? Is the view the place where all <BR>
of this should be performed or are there other places where the data <BR>
aggregation should take place? I see that some of the OverView plugins <BR>
are client-side views but really what I'm looking for is rendering on <BR>
the rank 0 pvserver process, not the client.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
David<BR>
