[Paraview] Geometry attribute in PVX files

[Stephan Rogge]

Aashish,

thanks for response. 

Could it make sense to add a flag to the geometry attribute for allow /
disallow full screen mode? In this case the size definition should be
useless, because the system resolution could be considered and the geometry
attribute can be reduced to two values (X,Y).

BTW: Considers VTK a real (hardware) full screen mode?

Thank you once again.
Regards,
Stephan

Hi Stephan , 

Glad that you liked it. We can add this feature since this is really quick
to add. 

Thanks

Hello,

I've noticed the new geometry attribute in the PVX configure files to place
and size render windows for each render server process. GREAT!!! This makes
the life of ParaView in the CAVE mode under Windows much easier :).
 Adding this attribute to my PVX files works great under Windows, but I have
render windows with borders / decoration rather than real full screens. I
think in vtkPVSynchronizedRenderWindows (line 1161 - 1165) the activation of
the full screen mode is missing:
// Use the specified geometry
this->Internals->SharedRenderWindow->SetPosition(geometry[0],
                                                           geometry[1]);
this->Internals->SharedRenderWindow->SetSize(geometry[2],
                                                       geometry[3]);

Adding this line before helps me to get rid of these borders:
this->Internals->SharedRenderWindow->SetFullScreen(1);

Is this a bug or an desired functionality?

Regards,
Stephan
