Just a quick question before I go ahead and build it to get EGL.

Also, how might I check if a given pvbatch binary has it enabled?

thanks

```
openGLInfo = GetOpenGLInformation()
openGLInfo.GetVendor()
openGLInfo.GetVersion()
openGLInfo.GetRenderer()
openGLInfo.GetCapabilities()

```

This should contains the needed information.

Normally we do but right now we just have a singularity image that was built with EGL

I actually use this:

> from paraview.modules.vtkRemotingViews import \*  
> renInfo = vtkPVRenderingCapabilitiesInformation()  
> renInfo.GetCapabilities()  
> renInfo.CopyFromObject(None)  
> renInfo.Supports(vtkPVRenderingCapabilitiesInformation.HEADLESS\_RENDERING\_USES\_EGL)
