As far as I know, using mesa and offscreen rendering is the only way to do that. Information on that is available at <a href="http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/ParaView/Users_Guide/Parallel_Rendering#Offscreen_Software_Rendering_via_OSMesa">http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/ParaView/Users_Guide/Parallel_Rendering#Offscreen_Software_Rendering_via_OSMesa</a><br>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">I'm currently doing some rendering on a large collection of exodus files using pvpython. I would like for this rendering to be done in the background. However, when I call WriteImage(filename), paraview pops up an X-window, and renders to the screen while saving the image. Is there any way to keep the window from showing up?<br>
