// This demos uses the illustrates how to creates the various different types of geometry that
// the osg::Geometry class can represent.  This demos uses the OpenGL red books diagram of different 
// OpenGL Primitives as a template for all the equivilant OpenSceneGraph Primitives.  The OpenSceneGraph 
// wraps OpenGL very thinly so uses all the same enum and naming conventions. The coordinate data is also 
// wrapped around OpenGL's vertex arrays and draw arrays/elements calls.  Familarity with
// OpenGL will help understand the the osg::Geometry class which encapsulate all this, or if you
// havn't learnt OpenGL yet, learning osg::Geometry will help you understand how OpenGL
// works!

// The osg::Geometry class "is a" subclass of osg::Drawable base class, so is an object that provides
// a draw method for drawing objects in the scene.  osg::Geometry contains all the vertex, normal
// color and texture coordate arrays required to specify the coordinates of your objects, and the
// primtives join these coordinates together as the points, lines or surfaces that you will see
// rendered on your screen. 
//
// This demo is split into two functions, the createScene() function which creates the scene graph
// with the various primitives in it, and the main() which sets up a basic viewer window and
// adds to the it the scene generated by createScene().
