I was trying to use a pvpython script (trace generated) to save a screenshot in a higher resolution. However, when I increase the resolution for saving to screenshot, all I get is multiple images of the layout in a single image. The image is attached. I never had this problem until I had to use OSPray for rendered images. Any idea on what could solve this?

The default layout saving works fine. Only when I try increasing the resolution, I see this issue. For example, this is the image I get when I have around 3 times the original resolution along both directions.

I’m afraid OSPRay does not support “Higher then your screen resolution” screenshots.

Is there an workaround to this, for example how would the resolution be defined on a headless machine?  
Any solution to this to get higher resolution images would be appreciated.
