The image above describes node-centred (or point-centred) and cell-centred schemes. The tree starts with an input 'source' and filters can be added in in parallel or paralle/series sequence. It uses 'Source' and 'Filters' as post-processing operation. Individual surfaces are refered to as patched. ParaView follows concept of blocks which refers to fluid zone, solid zone, boundary names. pvbatch is also a Python interpreter that runs Python scripts for ParaView for batch processing. You can think of this as the equivalent of the paraview for scripting. pvpython is the Python interpreter that runs ParaView’s Python scripts in interactive or GUI mode. Wrappers exists for Java, Tcl and Python. VTK incorporates several other libraries to provide basic functionalities such as rendering, parallel processing, file I/O, and parallel rendering.' Toolkit (VTK) provides the basic visualization and rendering algorithms.

ParaView comes with a pvpython application that allows you to automate the visualization and post-processing with Python scripting. The platforms supported by ParaView range from single-processor workstations to multiple-processor distributed-memory supercomputers or workstation clusters.

The size of the data sets ParaView can handle varies widely depending on the architecture on which the application is run.
