Rendering Troubleshooting

Tecplot Chorus requires sufficient graphics resources to create plots. If you experience any of the following symptoms, you likely have insufficient graphics resources and should instruct Tecplot Chorus to use Mesa software rendering.

Symptoms:

  • Scatter plots (2D or 3D) or line plots come up blank or cause a crash when interacted with.

  • Create Images operation fails to generate images.

  • [Linux only] Create Images operation reports "LLVM ERROR: inconsistency in registered CommandLine options" in the console output.

Linux

To enable Mesa software rendering include --mesa on the command-line when launching Tecplot Chorus.

Windows

Limited graphics resources are most frequently encountered when using Remote Desktop to a Windows virtual machine.

To enable Mesa software rendering, set the following environment variable prior to launching Tecplot Chorus.

MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.1COMPAT

This can be done from the Windows command prompt as such:

> set MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.1COMPAT
> chorus.exe
