Hi,
I'm out of the country teachng a GPU workshop
and my hotel email access has been sporadic and laggy
(just froze for 5 min while trying to write this) so I apologize
for the delay...
Trajectory animation is the hardest scenario for a network-interconnected
display wall like yours. I do have some Tcl scripts somewhere to allow
the sort of parallelized wall display mode you're asking about, but
I will have to dig them up when I get home next week. Send me a ping
next Wednesday to remind me and I'll see if I can send you some
example code you can try out.
Cheers,
John Stone
