[Paraview] 3d visualisation

[Biao She]

I think what you mean is side-by-side stereo rendering mode. Right?
I have done this before.Paraview doesn't support this stereo rendering mode.
But it's fairly easy to change some source code of Paraview to make it work.
You only need to change the code in "*paraview/VTK/Rendering/vtkRenderWindow.h"
*and "*paraview/VTK/Rendering/vtkRenderWindow.cxx*". Please refer to this
webpage about how to change the code:
http://www.geophysik.uni-muenchen.de/intranet/it-service/applications/paraview/compiling-and-installing-paraview-and-vtk/

This works for linux system at least. I have tried it on windows, but
nothing change. Even if I use the red-blue stereo mode in paraview on
windows, it doesn't work too. I don't know if paraview doesn't support
stereo rendering on Windows or I have done something wrong on windows.
Anyway, hope this helpful.
