Description : ParaView is an open-source, multi-platform data analysis and visualization application. ParaView users can quickly build visualizations to analyze their data using qualitative and quantitative techniques. The data exploration can be done interactively in 3D or programmatically using ParaView’s batch processing capabilities.
Versions : gcc-mpi-qt-opengl/5.0.1, gcc-mpi-qt-ospray-opengl/5.0.1 and paraview/gcc-mpi-qt-ospray-opengl/5.6.1
Module names : gcc-mpi-qt-opengl/5.0.1, gcc-mpi-qt-ospray-opengl/5.0.1 and paraview/gcc-mpi-qt-ospray-opengl/5.6.1

Paraview runs on the visualisation nodes.

With the following method:

Start an X2GO session, connect to rvisu01 and then open a terminal:

$ module load paraview/gcc-mpi-qt-opengl/5.0.1
$ vglrun paraview

</pre>

VirtualGL also provides a framework which can be used to develop custom image transport plugins.
