DESCRIPTION

       Paraview  is a program for displaying and rendering of small to large datasets in two or three dimensions.  It runs on a single computer or
       on a cluster of nodes with distributed or shared memory. The Visualization Toolkit (VTK) is used as processing and rendering machine.

Options
       -cc | --cave-configuration FILE
	      Specify the file FILE that defines the displays for a cave. It is used only with CaveRenderModule.

       --compare-view OPT
	      Compare the viewport to a reference image, and exit.

       --connect-id ID
	      Set the ID of the server and client to make sure they match.

       --data DATA
	      Load the specified DATA.

       --data-directory DIR
	      Set the data DIR directory where test-case data are.

       -dr | --disable-registry
	      Do not use registry when running ParaView (for testing).

       --exit Exit application when testing is done. Use for testing.

       /? | --help
	      Displays available command line arguments.

       --image-threshold THRESH
	      Set the threshold THRESH beyond which viewport-image comparisons fail.

       -m | --machines FILE
	      Specify the network configurations file FILE for the render server.

       --run-test CASE
	      Run a recorded test case CASE.

       --run-test-init CASE
	      Run a recorded test initialization case CASE.

       -s | --server NAME
	      Set the name NAME of the server resource to connect with when the client starts.

       --stereo
	      Tell the application to enable stereo rendering (only when running on a single process).

       --test-directory DIR
	      Set the temporary directory DIR where test-case output will be stored.

       -V | --version
	      Give the version number and exit.
