I’m trying to use a Python script in order to automate a CFD postprocessing. Everything works quite smoothly except for the surface lic visualization. I get images like this one (with discontinuity in different part of the image).

The view a see in paraview after the last screenshot is fine. So I don’t understand what is wrong.

This happens when tiling ends up being used when saving screenshot. See the way to overcome this issue reported [here](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/issues/19302#note_622535). Essentially, you set the size of the window to match the target image size before saving the image to avoid the tiling code from kicking in.
