Cluster

[inha]

I use one main-computer and three cluster computers.
Three screens are connected with the three computers.


UpperLeftWindow = viz.addWindow(pos=(0,1.0),size=(0.2,0.4))
UpperLeftWindow.visible(0,viz.SCREEN)
BirdView = viz.addView()
#Attach the bird's eye view to the upper left window
UpperLeftWindow.setView(BirdView)
#Move the view above the center of the room
BirdView.setPosition([40,-9550,0])
#Rotate the view so that it looks down
BirdView.setEuler([0,90,0])

I added a small window using this code.
I had not any problem when I used only one computer. However, the small window on the left of the top of this attached picture appeared on each screen of the three computers while I used them.
I would like to make the window appear on only one screen.
I suppose that I can solve the problem using SETMASK code but I failed to settle the problem although I tried many times.
I would appreciate it if you can help me.

The following code shows how to use a cluster mask so the sub-window only shows up on the master:

import viz
viz.go()

maze = viz.addChild('maze.osgb')


with viz.cluster.MaskedContext(viz.MASTER):
	UpperLeftWindow = viz.addWindow(pos=(0,1.0),size=(0.2,0.4))
	UpperLeftWindow.visible(0,viz.SCREEN)
	BirdView = viz.addView()
	#Attach the bird's eye view to the upper left window
	UpperLeftWindow.setView(BirdView)
	#Move the view above the center of the room
	BirdView.setPosition([0,50,0])
	#Rotate the view so that it looks down
	BirdView.setEuler([0,90,0])

I get an error if I try to set the MaskedContext to viz.CLIENT1 can you tell me why? I think the VizWindow instance isn't valid.

The previous code sample is incorrect. Try the following instead:

import viz
viz.go()

maze = viz.addChild('maze.osgb')

UpperLeftWindow = viz.addWindow(pos=(0,1.0),size=(0.2,0.4))
UpperLeftWindow.visible(0,viz.SCREEN)
BirdView = viz.addView()
#Attach the bird's eye view to the upper left window
UpperLeftWindow.setView(BirdView)
#Move the view above the center of the room
BirdView.setPosition([0,50,0])
#Rotate the view so that it looks down
BirdView.setEuler([0,90,0])
	
# Show the window only on client 1
UpperLeftWindow.visible(0)
with viz.cluster.MaskedContext(viz.CLIENT1):
	UpperLeftWindow.visible(1)

You still need to add the window to all machines, but just make it visible on one.
