Summary0010535: Bounding boxes for interactive rendering
DescriptionWhen doing an interactive rendering, there are currently two options: render the full resolution mesh or render decimated polygons. Sometimes even the decimated polygons are too large to practically download to the client and the latency of the connection to the server is too high to make remote rendering practical. Thus, it would be helpful if there were a third option (also controlled by threshold?) that would show bounding boxes, locally rendered, for interactive rendering.

This is not a great solution, and we should pursue other ways to improve remote rendering over WANs, but this should be easy to implement and could reduce some user frustration.

Robert, this should be fairly easy. Currently vtkPVRenderView checks whether to deliver outline to client, only in tile-display mode. We simply need to fix it to do that check for interactive rendering in non-tile-display mode (and set the appropriate keys). The representations should take care of the rest.

Also you'll need to update the Settings dialog to move the outline threshold from the tile-display parameters group to client-server settings group (same place as the remote-render threshold or something appropriate).

commit 69781e977f9c00cfd71c690f171cd7ac71ee1a76

    Fixed BUG 0010535. Added ability to deliver outlines to client.
    
    Overloading the client-collect-threshold used to decide if outlines are to be
    delivered to client in tile-display mode to also control if outline is delivered
    to client when interacting in non-tile-display mode.
    
    Note this has no effect when server-side rendering is employed.
    
    The setting is now in global render-view settings, "Remote rendering" group,
    named "Client Outline Threshold".

Very, very nice implementation.

Tested remote server, windows client, trunk.
