Hi everyone,

As stated in the title, i would like to run ensight in batch mode. I have a command file ( .enc ) that i can run without any problem. In the end it gives me an screenshot of the work it did : multiple viewport, labels, legends, etc...

The command is the following :

file: image_format jpg
file: image_format_options Quality 100
anim_recorders: render_offscreen ON
file: image_numpasses 8
file: image_stereo current
file: image_screen_tiling 1 1
file: image_window_xy 2000 2000
file: save_image

Problem is, when i do it WITH the interface and export manually my image, it works : I have a 2000X2000 image of my work. If i do it in batch mode, it doesn't work => The output image is "forced" to be in 1280X720, so the image is compressed , and some legends and labels overlap.

Is there a way to stop it from re-dimension the exported image ?

thank you for your answer


EDIT
________________
I am using EnSight standard 10.0.3(a)

pathofEnSightexe -X -batch -p nameofthefile.enc

I missed in my code the line :
file: image_window_size user_defined
This line solved my problem so in the end i have :

file: image_format jpg
file: image_format_options Quality 100
anim_recorders: render_offscreen ON
file: image_numpasses 8
file: image_stereo current
file: image_screen_tiling 1 1
file: image_window_size user_defined
file: image_window_xy 2000 2000
file: save_image

This is the line that tells EnSight to not use the default windows size, but to actually read the file: image_window_xy line. Please add it before the
"file: image_window_xy ...."
line
Indeed, i may have forgotten it while taking the command code.... ups.

Hi Jan,

A few comments:

1. It'd be useful to know what exact version of EnSight you are using (10.X.X(x)). Indeed the command language to save images have slightly changed between versions

2. It'd be useful to know also what commands you are using when running EnSight in batch. Indeed there are some flags that can be used that will set the size of the viewport (and therefore of the exported images), that take priority over the commands in an .enc file.

3. The command language you are using seems to be missing the line

file: image_window_size user_defined

This is the line that tells EnSight to not use the default windows size, but to actually read the file: image_window_xy line. Please add it before the
"file: image_window_xy ...."
line

4. I am not sure where the command "flag__link" comes from? This doesn't seem to be one of the default Ensight command.

Hope this helps. Please let me know your comments to each point if you still need help.

It is a personnal addition that is replaced when executed by the command that saves the image in a precise path :

file: image_file nameofthefile

In the end, it worked ! I don't know how but , in the provess of copying, i must have forgot the command :

file: image_window_size user_defined

Thank you very much for your help
