// .NAME vtkPVView - baseclass for all ParaView views.
// .SECTION Description
// vtkPVView adds API to vtkView for ParaView specific views. Typically, one
// writes a simple vtkView subclass for their custom view. Then one subclasses
// vtkPVView to use their own vtkView subclass with added support for
// parallel rendering, tile-displays and client-server. Even if the view is
// client-only view, it needs to address these other configuration gracefully.

  // This encapsulates a whole lot of logic for

  // keeps, it can easily aid vtkViews to synchronize information such as bounds/
  // data-size among all processes efficiently. This can be achieved by using

  // otherwise we will have deadlocks.

  static vtkInformationRequestKey* REQUEST_UPDATE_LOD();

  // Description:
  // This is a render pass. This is called for every render, hence
  // representations should not do any work that doesn't depend on things that

  // vtkPVSynchronizedRenderWindows so that the layout on the tile-displays for
  // other views shows up correctly. Ideally you'd want to paste some image on
  // the tile-display, maybe just a capture of the image rendering on the
