Restoring session

Restoring a VisIt session file deletes all plots, closes all databases, etc before VisIt reads the session file to get back to the state described in the session file. After restoring a session file, VisIt will look exactly like it did when the session file was saved. To restore a session file, click the Restore session option from the Main Window's File menu to open an Open file dialog. Choose a session file to open using the Open file dialog. Once you've chosen a file, VisIt restores the session using the selected session file. If you are on the Windows platform, you can double-click session files (.vses files) stored on your computer in order to directly open them with VisIt.
