The gRPC server API exposed by the EnSight client.

---

 The EnSight client supports a gRPC based rpc system that makes it possible to access various aspects of the EnSight client in a service-orientated fashion. This functionality is enabled at EnSight launch via the -grpc\_server {port} command line option.  
 There is a raw gRPC interface accessed via the [ensight.proto](ensight_8proto_source.html) and ensight\_fluent.proto files and a higher-level Python interface in the ensight\_rpc module named [ensight\_grpc.py](ensight__grpc_8py_source.html). Details on how to leverage this interface cen be found in [EnSight Command and Control API](md_doxygen_2ensightprotobuf.html).
