Hi,

I am comparing the running (MPI) of various variant (egl, osmesa) of pvserver and their impact of interactive frame rate.

I am wondering if there is a way to display the frame rate as a user interact with the datasets in Paraview ?

Cheers

Hi Nocholas,  
Do you mean Edit/ Settings/ Renderview/ Advanced/ Show Annotation?

Thanks Alan.

In the version I am using, Advanced is a small gear on the top right.

I got it working.

It also shows me if it is using remote and parallel rendering. Very useful.

Cheers

“Advanced” is always the gear icon in ParaView.
