osgGA. My approach is to bundle all touchpoints into one custom data
structure which is attached to an GUIEventAdapter.
The current approach simulates a moving mouse for the first touch-point,
so basic manipulators do work, sort of.
I created a MultiTouchTrackballManipulator-class, one touch-point does
rotate the view, two touch-points pan and zoom the view as known from
the iphone or other similar multi-touch-devices. A double-tap (similar
to a double-click) resets the manipulator to its home-position.
The multi-touch-trackball-implementation is not the best, see it as a
first starting point. (there's a demo-video at http://vimeo.com/15017377 )"
serialization libraries. My submission mainly includes:
1. Add two new macros USE_DOTOSGWRAPPER_LIBRARY and
USE_SERIALIZER_WRAPPER_LIBRARY. Applications using static OSG must
include corresponding static-link libraries and use these two macros
to predefine native format wrappers. Please see osgstaticviewer and
present3D in the attachment for details.
2. Add a LibraryWrapper.cpp file in each
osgWrappers/deprecated-dotosg/... and osgWrappers/serializers/...
subfolder, which calls all USE_...WRAPPERS macros inside. The
LibraryWrapper file is automatically generated by the
wrapper_includer.cpp (with some slight fixes), which is also attached
for your reference. The deprecated-dotosg/osgAnimation is not included
because it doesn't us REGISTER_DOTOSGWRAPPER to define its wrappers.
3. Modify the ReaderWriterOSG.cpp to prevent calling loadWrappers()
when static build.
4. An uncorrelated fix to Serializer and ObjectWrapper.cpp, which
ensures version variables of serialziers are initialized, and
serializers out-of-version are not written to model files.

Initial email from Tim : "I've implemented using a timestamp, available with ARB_timer_query and OpenGL 3.3, to gather GPU stats. This is nice because it can accurately fix the GPU draw time with respect to the other times on the stats graph, rather than having to estimate the wall time of the end of GPU drawing. This also prevents anomalies like the GPU phase starting before the draw phase..."
Changes to Tim's submission by Robert: Removal of need for swap buffer callback in ViewerBase.cpp, by
integrating a osg::State::frameCompleted() method that does the stats timing collection. Introduction of a
GraphicsContext::swapBuffersCallbackOrImplementation() method that calls the State::frameCompleted() and
the swap buffers callback or the swapImplementation as required.
functionalities. It includes two main parts: a version checking macro
for handling backward-compatiblity since 3.0, and enhencement of
current schema mechanism. I also change the option handling process to
use getPluginStringData(), and add new USE_SERIALIZER_WRAPPER macro in
the Registry header to allow for static-link usage as well.
The enhencement of schema machanism just tells the type of each
serializer while outputting them, such as:
osg::Group = Children:1
The meaning of the number can be found in the osgDB/Serializer header,
BaseSerializer::Type enum. It may help 3rdparty utilities understand
the structure of the wrapper and do some reflection work in the
future.
The new macro UPDATE_TO_VERSION can help indicate the InputStream (no
affect on the writer) that a serializer is added/removed since certain
OSG version. An example wrapper file is also attached. The
Geode_modified.cpp is based on the serializers/osg/Geode.cpp file
(hey, don't merge it :-), but assumes that a new user serializer
'Test' is added since version 65 (that is, the OSG_SOVERSION):
REGISTER_OBJECT_WRAPPER( Geode, ... )
{
ADD_USER_SERIALIZER( Drawables ); // origin ones
UPDATE_TO_VERSION( 65 )
{
ADD_USER_SERIALIZER( Test ); // a serializer added from version 65
}
}
All kinds of ADD_... macros following UPDATE_TO_VERSION will
automatically apply the updated version. The braces here are only for
typesetting!
While reading an osgt/osgb/osgx file, OSG will now check if the file
version (recorded as the writer's soversion, instead of previous
meaningless "#Version 2") is equal or greater than Test's version, and
try reading it, or just ignore it if file version is lesser.
And we also have the REMOVE_SERIALIZER macro will mark a named
serializer as removed in some version, with which all files generated
by further versions will just ignore it:
UPDATE_TO_VERSION( 70 )
{
REMOVE_SERIALIZER( Test );
}
This means that from version 70, the serializer Test is removed (but
not actually erased from the list) and should not be read anymore. If
the read file version is less than 70 (and equal or greater than 65),
Test will still be handled when reading; otherwise it will be ignored
to keep compatiblity on different OSG versions.
"
Also I've done the osguserstats example. I've kept the "toy example" that was in the modified osgviewer.cpp I had sent you, because they show different uses of custom stats lines (a value displayed directly, a value without bars and a value with bars and graph). I also added a function and a thread that will sleep for a given number of milliseconds and record this time in the stats. I think it clearly shows how to record the time some processing takes and add that to the stats graph, whether the processing takes place on the same thread as the viewer or on another thread.
BTW, feel free to modify the colors I've given to each user stats line... I'm not very artistic. :-)
I've also added more doc comments to the addUserStats() method in ViewerEventHandlers, so hopefully the arguments are clear and the way to get the results you want is also clear. Maybe I went overboard, but the function makes some assumptions that may not be obvious and has many arguments, so I preferred to be explicit."
A new AutoRotateMode was added. I named it ROTATE_TO_AXIS to be
consistent with the other AutoRotateModes, even though it changes from
how is called in Billboard (AXIAL_ROT).
Setters and getters for rotation axis and normal were also added to the
AutoTransform class interface.
The implementation is mainly a copy-paste from Billboard code.

The user calls statsHandler->addUserStatsLine() providing:
- the label they want for that line in the graph
- the text and bar colors they want in the graph
- the stats names they want queried (one for time taken, one for begin and one for end time) and a few settings for how these will be displayed.
Then all they have to do is call viewer->getViewerStats()->setAttribute(framenumber, name, value) for their three attributes each frame and they'll have their stats in the graph.
They can also give only a time taken attribute (or some other numerical value they want printed, which can be averaged or not), or only begin+end attributes, and the graph will accordingly display only the (average or not) numerical value or only the bars.
Along the way I cleaned up the existing code a bit:
* Each time the setUpScene() or createCameraTimeStats() methods added a line to the graph, they did pretty much the same thing, so I moved that into a separate method called createTimeStatsLine() which is called by setUpScene() and createCameraTimeStats().
* I moved the font, characterSize, startBlocks and leftPos variables to member variables, since they were being passed around everywhere but were set only once at the beginning.
* The geode on which stats lines are added is also kept in a member variable, and createCameraTimeStats() adds the per-camera lines to this geode instead of returning a new Group with a new Geode. This further reduces the number of variables the createCameraTimeStats() method needs as input.

Updated and cleaned up the rest of the OSG to use the new internal GLU.
change was to use doubles for reading and writing matrices regardless of type of Matrix
being serialized.
Change does break backwards compatibility though, so code
path supporting original format has been left in for the
time being. However, this code is not reliable enough and
is over complicated compared to the simplified handling. Once
the new code has been bedded down for a while I'll remove this code block.
I also fixed a possible bug in osgDB::XmlParser that doesn't handle control characters (like " to ") when reading node attributes, because the writeWrappedString() and readWrappedString() now depend heavily on control characters. An additional improvement is that osgx now supports comments."

performance option, I added a flag to control whether the depth writing
pass is performed.
Since text is alpha-blended when rendering, it is placed in the
transparent bin and rendered back to front. Writing to the depth buffer
should therefore be unnecessary. Indeed, rendering something behind text
(or any blended object) after that object is drawn will give incorrect
results whether the depth buffer is written or not. I therefore think it
is safe to keep this option off by default. Users can turn it on for any
special needs they have.
I did not fix the existing backdrop implementations to work with the new
code since this new method of rendering intrinsically handles backdrops
correctly. Its results are more accurate than all of the existing
backdrop implementations. Its only downside is that it requires two
passes if depth buffer updates are desired, whereas DEPTH_RANGE and
POLYGON_OFFSET achieve their (less accurate) results in one pass. The
NO_DEPTH_BUFFER method also only uses one pass, but it disables depth
tests and not depth writes so will have serious problems if anything is
drawn in front of the text before OR after the text is drawn.
Given the better all-around behavior of the new method, I believe the
other backdrop implementations can be safely removed. Code that adjusts
the backdrop implementation will of course be broken if the member
functions are removed. For this reason I left them in, but set the new
rendering method as the default backdrop implementation. At the very
least I think the old backdrop implementations should be deprecated and
removed at a later date.
"
Note from Robert Osfield, testing this submission with osgtext I found that the
text would not render correctly when different text labels were overlapping
in deth and screen space. I change _enableDepthWrites to default to true and
found the that which artifacts still occurred around the alpha blended edges
the artifacts where better than issue with occlusion of nearer pixels that was
happening with _enableDepthWrites set to false.I therefore set the
_enableDepthWrites to true as I feel it's the lesser of the two artefacts.
I move declaration of classes TestResult, QueryGeometry from cpp to header file and made a void createSupportNodes() a virtual method.

Goals:
- to handle INCR_WRAP values nicely if not supported by OpenGL (old hardware)
- to support two side stenciling of OpenGL 2.0. Current implementation does not work on ATI as it uses Nvidia extension.
Ready for commit:
- Stencil and Stencil.cpp - please, review them
Ready with "hack":
- StencilTwoSided.cpp: please, see the line 113 in apply():
glEnable(GL_STENCIL_TEST_TWO_SIDE);
This line used to be in getModeUsage() as
usage.usesMode(GL_STENCIL_TEST_TWO_SIDE);
but it produces OpenGL errors on ATI as it is unknown value there (it is Nvidia extension).
Problems with my "glEnable" solution:
- it enables two side stenciling forever, and it will disturb any other single-side stenciling in the scene graph.

type is supported at present. The attached osgparticleshader.cpp will
show how it works. It can also be placed in the examples folder. But I
just wonder how this example co-exists with another two (osgparticle
and osgparticleeffect)?
Member variables in Particle, including _alive, _current_size and
_current_alpha, are now merged into one Vec3 variable. Then we can
make use of the set...Pointer() methods to treat them as vertex
attribtues in GLSL. User interfaces are not changed.
Additional methods of ParticleSystem are introduced, including
setDefaultAttributesUsingShaders(), setSortMode() and
setVisibilityDistance(). You can see how they work in
osgparticleshader.cpp.
Additional user-defined particle type is introduced. Set the particle
type to USER and attach a drawable to the template. Be careful because
of possible huge memory consumption. It is highly suggested to use
display lists here.
The ParticleSystemUpdater can accepts ParticleSystem objects as child
drawables now. I myself think it is a little simpler in structure,
than creating a new geode for each particle system. Of course, the
latter is still compatible, and can be used to transform entire
particles in the world.
New particle operators: bounce, sink, damping, orbit and explosion.
The bounce and sink opeartors both use a concept of domains, and can
simulate a very basic collision of particles and objects.
New composite placer. It contains a set of placers and emit particles
from them randomly. The added virtual method size() of each placer
will help determine the probability of generating.
New virtual method operateParticles() for the Operator class. It
actually calls operate() for each particle, but can be overrode to use
speedup techniques like SSE, or even shaders in the future.
Partly fix a floating error of 'delta time' in emitter, program and
updaters. Previously they keep the _t0 variable seperately and compute
different copies of dt by themseleves, which makes some operators,
especially the BounceOperator, work incorrectly (because the dt in
operators and updaters are slightly different). Now a getDeltaTime()
method is maintained in ParticleSystem, and will return the unique dt
value (passing by reference) for use. This makes thing better, but
still very few unexpected behavours at present...
All dotosg and serialzier wrappers for functionalities above are provided.
...
According to some simple tests, the new shader support is slightly
efficient than ordinary glBegin()/end(). That means, I haven't got a
big improvement at present. I think the bottlenack here seems to be
the cull traversal time. Because operators go through the particle
list again and again (for example, the fountain in the shader example
requires 4 operators working all the time).
A really ideal solution here is to implement the particle operators in
shaders, too, and copy the results back to particle attributes. The
concept of GPGPU is good for implementing this. But in my opinion, the
Camera class seems to be too heavy for realizing such functionality in
a particle system. Myabe a light-weight ComputeDrawable class is
enough for receiving data as textures and outputting the results to
the FBO render buffer. What do you think then?
The floating error of emitters
(http://lists.openscenegraph.org/pipermail/osg-users-openscenegraph.org/2009-May/028435.html)
is not solved this time. But what I think is worth testing is that we
could directly compute the node path from the emitter to the particle
system rather than multiplying the worldToLocal and LocalToWorld
matrices. I'll try this idea later.

osgWidget::Input:
[Functional changes]
- Previously, the field would be filled with spaces up to its max length, and typing would just replace the spaces. Also, there was a _textLength variable that kept track of the real length of text in the field, since the osgText::Text's length just reflected the length of spaces+text entered. This was not great, as you could still select the spaces with the mouse and it just feels hacky. So I changed it to only contain the text entered, no spaces, and _textLength was removed since it's now redundant (the osgText::Text's length is used instead).
- Fixed the selection size which (visually only) showed one more character selected than what was really selected.
- Fixed selection by dragging the mouse, it would sometimes not select the last character of the string.
- Cursor will now accurately reflect whether insert mode is activated (block cursor) or we're in normal mode (line cursor) like in most editors.
- Implemented Ctrl-X (cut)
- Added a new clear() method that allows the field to be emptied correctly. Useful for a command line interface, for example (hint, hint).
- Mouse and keyboard event handler methods would always return false, which meant selecting with the mouse would also rotate the trackball, and typing an 's' would turn on stats.
[Code cleanup]
- Renamed the (local) _selectionMin and _selectionMax variables which are used in a lot of places, as the underscores would lead to think they were members. Either I called them selection{Min|Max} or delete{Min|Max} where it made more sense.
- Fixed some indenting which was at 3 spaces (inconsistently), I'm sure I didn't catch all the lines where this was the case though.
- Put spaces between variable, operator and value where missing, especially in for()s. Again I only did this where I made changes, there are probably others left.
The result is that delete, backspace, Ctrl-X, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, and typing behaviour should now be consistent with text editor conventions, whether insert mode is enabled or not. I hope. :-)
Note, there's a nasty const_cast in there. Why isn't osgText::Font::getGlyph() declared const?
Also, as a note, the current implementation of cut, copy and paste (in addition to being Windows only, yuck) gets and puts the data into an std::string, thus if the osgText::String in the field contains unicode characters I think it won't work correctly. Perhaps someone could implement a proper clipboard class that would be cross-platform and support osgText::String (more precisely other languages like Chinese) correctly? Cut, copy and paste are not critical to what I'm doing so I won't invest the time to do that, but I just thought I'd mention it.

to get QWidgetImage to a point where it can fill a need we have: to be
able to use Qt to make HUDs and to display widgets over / inside an OSG
scene.
---------------
Current results
---------------
I've attached what I have at this point. The modified QWidgetImage +
QGraphicsViewAdapter classes can be rendered fullscreen (i.e. the Qt
QGraphicsView's size follows the size of the OSG window) or on a quad in
the scene as before. It will let events go through to OSG if no widget
is under the mouse when they happen (useful when used as a HUD with
transparent parts - a click-focus scheme could be added later too). It
also supercedes Martin Scheffler's submission because it adds a
getter/setter for the QGraphicsViewAdapter's background color (and the
user can set their widget to be transparent using
widget->setAttribute(Qt::WA_TranslucentBackground) themselves).
The included osgQtBrowser example has been modified to serve as a test
bed for these changes. It has lots more command line arguments than
before, some of which can be removed eventually (once things are
tested). Note that it may be interesting to change its name or split it
into two examples. Though if things go well, the specific QWebViewImage
class can be removed completely and we can consolidate to using
QWidgetImage everywhere, and then a single example to demonstrate it
would make more sense, albeit not named osgQtBrowser... You can try this
path by using the --useWidgetImage --useBrowser command line arguments -
this results in an equivalent setup to QWebViewImage, but using
QWidgetImage, and doesn't work completely yet for some unknown reason,
see below.
----------------
Remaining issues
----------------
There are a few issues left to fix, and for these I request the
community's assistance. They are not blockers for me, and with my
limited Qt experience I don't feel like I'm getting any closer to fixing
them, so if someone else could pitch in and see what they can find, it
would be appreciated. It would be really nice to get them fixed, that
way we'd really have a first-class integration of Qt widgets in an OSG
scene. The issues are noted in the osgQtBrowser.cpp source file, but
here they are too:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
QWidgetImage still has some issues, some examples are:
1. Editing in the QTextEdit doesn't work. Also when started with
--useBrowser, editing in the search field on YouTube doesn't
work. But that same search field when using QWebViewImage
works... And editing in the text field in the pop-up getInteger
dialog works too. All these cases use QGraphicsViewAdapter
under the hood, so why do some work and others don't?
a) osgQtBrowser --useWidgetImage [--fullscreen] (optional)
b) Try to click in the QTextEdit and type, or to select text
and drag-and-drop it somewhere else in the QTextEdit. These
don't work.
c) osgQtBrowser --useWidgetImage --sanityCheck
d) Try the operations in b), they all work.
e) osgQtBrowser --useWidgetImage --useBrowser [--fullscreen]
f) Try to click in the search field and type, it doesn't work.
g) osgQtBrowser
h) Try the operation in f), it works.
2. Operations on floating windows (--numFloatingWindows 1 or more).
Moving by dragging the titlebar, clicking the close button,
resizing them, none of these work. I wonder if it's because the
OS manages those functions (they're functions of the window
decorations) so we need to do something special for that? But
in --sanityCheck mode they work.
a) osgQtBrowser --useWidgetImage --numFloatingWindows 1
[--fullscreen]
b) Try to drag the floating window, click the close button, or
drag its sides to resize it. None of these work.
c) osgQtBrowser --useWidgetImage --numFloatingWindows 1
--sanityCheck
d) Try the operations in b), all they work.
e) osgQtBrowser --useWidgetImage [--fullscreen]
f) Click the button so that the getInteger() dialog is
displayed, then try to move that dialog or close it with the
close button, these don't work.
g) osgQtBrowser --useWidgetImage --sanityCheck
h) Try the operation in f), it works.
3. (Minor) The QGraphicsView's scrollbars don't appear when
using QWidgetImage or QWebViewImage. QGraphicsView is a
QAbstractScrollArea and it should display scrollbars as soon as
the scene is too large to fit the view.
a) osgQtBrowser --useWidgetImage --fullscreen
b) Resize the OSG window so it's smaller than the QTextEdit.
Scrollbars should appear but don't.
c) osgQtBrowser --useWidgetImage --sanityCheck
d) Try the operation in b), scrollbars appear. Even if you have
floating windows (by clicking the button or by adding
--numFloatingWindows 1) and move them outside the view,
scrollbars appear too. You can't test that case in OSG for
now because of problem 2 above, but that's pretty cool.
4. (Minor) In sanity check mode, the widget added to the
QGraphicsView is centered. With QGraphicsViewAdapter, it is not.
a) osgQtBrowser --useWidgetImage [--fullscreen]
b) The QTextEdit and button are not in the center of the image
generated by the QGraphicsViewAdapter.
c) osgQtBrowser --useWidgetImage --sanityCheck
d) The QTextEdit and button are in the center of the
QGraphicsView.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
As you can see I've put specific repro steps there too, so it's clear
what I mean by a given problem. The --sanityCheck mode is useful to see
what should happen in a "normal" Qt app that demonstrates the same
situation, so hopefully we can get to a point where it behaves the same
with --sanityCheck and without."

1) some time values were passed as floats, reducing accuracy.

bool observer_ptr<>::lock(ref_ptr<T>&) to avoid the temporary ref_ptr<>'s
being created and destroyed on the stack along with the associated ref/unref() operations
Changes:
- new mouse wheel zoom/movement/center functionality
- ability to fix vertical axis (important for CAD)
- possibility to specify values as absolute values or relative to model size
- kind of backward compatibility by flags passed to constructor
- and much more
- restructuring classes to use kind of hierarchy and standard way of event processing (handle methods). This way, there is much more code reusability and it is more easy to develop new kinds of manipulators.
Briefly, the new architecture keeps MatrixManipulator as base abstract class. StandardManipulator is the feature-rich standard manipulator with two main descendant classes: OrbitManipulator and FirstPersonManipulator. OrbitManipulator is base class for all trackball style manipulators, based on center, rotation and distance from center. FirstPersonManipulator is base for walk or fly style manipulators, using position and rotation for camera manipulation.

last weekend with a few tests on Windows and Ubuntu. Hope it could
work and get more feedbacks soon.
I've added a new option "SchemaData" to the osg2 plugin. Developers
may test the new feature with the command line:
# osgconv cow.osg cow.osgb -O SchemaData
It will record all serializer properties used in the scene graph, at
the beginning of the generated file. And when osgviewer and user
applications is going to read the osgb file, the inbuilt data will be
automatically read and applied first, to keep backwards compatibility
partly. This will not affect osgb files generated with older versions.

"Fixed. According to ARB_texture_multisample extension specification multisample textures don't need TexParameters since they can only be fetched with texelFetch."
modifications of the osgShadow header naming styles as well. The
osgDB::Serializer header is also changed to add new Vec2 serializer

A bug fix for the XML support, to write char values correctly.
A small change in the osg::Geometry wrapper to ignore the
InternalGeometry property, which is used by the MorphGeometry and
should not be set by user applications.
The avatar.osg, nathan.osg and robot.osg data files all work fine with
serializers, with some 'unsupported wrapper' warnings when converting.
I'm thinking of removing these warnings by disabling related property
serializers (ComputeBoundingBoxCallback and Drawable::UpdateCallback),
which are seldom recorded by users.
By the way, I still wonder how would we handle the C4121 problem,
discussed some days before. The /Zp compile option is set to 16 in the
attached cmake script file. And is there a better solution now?"
now O(n) rather than O(nlogn) where n is the number of requests. The refactoring also cleans up the access of the
request lists so that the code is more readable/maintainable.
using osgDB::XmlParser. The extension for XML-formatted scenes is
.osgx, corresponding to .osgb for binary and .osgt for ascii. It could
either be rendered in osgviewer or edited by common web browsers and
xml editors because of a range of changes to fit the XML syntax. For
example, the recorded class names are slight modified, from
'osg::Geode' to 'osg--Geode'.
To quickly get an XML file:
# ./osgconv cow.osg cow.osgx
The StreamOperator header, InputStreram and OutputStream classes are
modified to be more portable for triple ascii/binary/XML formats. I
also fixed a bug in readImage()/writeImage() to share image objects if
needed.
The ReaderWriterOSG2 class now supports all three formats and
reading/writing scene objects (not nodes or images), thanks to
Torben's advice before.

This change should make it possible to delete PagedLOD's independantly from the DatabasePager, and also prevent issues of
consistency of the pager when subgraphs when are cached elsewhere in the application such as in the Registry filecache.
up vector to setViewMatrixAsLookAt(..) codes in osgShadow. This will addresses previous issues that occured when look vectors
co-incided with the hard coded up vectors.
Fixes in StandardShadowMap.cpp & MinimalShadowMap.cpp were made for spotlight issues. There were cases when further located spotlights were not shadowing properly.
Small tweak in DebugShadowMap & StandardShadowMap.cpp to not limit shadow maps to texture2D (which should also allow texture2D arrays and cube maps). I simply replaced ptr to osg::Texture2D with pointer to osg::Texture. Interpretation of this member could be now changed with change of shaders in derived classes. This may be useful for guys who override LispSM or MinimalBoundsShadowMaps techniques. Could be useful for implementation of PerspectiveCascadedShadowMaps technique for example.
ConvexPolyhedron.cpp & DebugShadowMap.cpp contain debug HUD tweaks.
Change in ConvexPolyhedron.cpp overcomes the regression problem with color per primitive binding which caused that shadow volume outlines stopped to draw. I simply changed PER_PRIMITIVE to PER_PRIMITIVE_SET and it works again.
Other adition is dump method I added to DebugShadowMap which can be used in shadow debugging mode to dump current frame shadow volumes & scene to osg file. It could be then loaded into viewer and freely examined from different angles (which is difficult inside the application if shadow adopts to view and projection). "
osgAnimation. It's been tested with the majority of the samples in the
COLLADA test repository and works with all of them either as well as, or
better than, the version of the plugin currently in SVN.
Known issue: vertex animation (AKA morphing) doesn't work at present,
but that's a relatively unpopular method of animating so it's not high
on my priority list."

"I've been informed that the previous DAE submission didn't build on
unix, so here's the submission again with the fixes. Thanks to Gregory Potdevin and Benjamin Bozou.
Also, my apologies to Roland for not crediting his part in making DAE
animation happen, my work was indeed built on top of his work. Thanks
also to Marius Heise and of course Cedric Pinson."
Changes by Robert Osfield, fixed compile issues when compile without C* automatic conversion enabled in ref_ptr<>
and constructor initialization fixes to address some warnings under gcc.
* Change OcclusionQueryNode::getPassed to take a NodeVisitor rather than the distance from BS center to the eye point. Change where CullVisitor calls this method to use the new parameters.
* getPassed now exits early and returns true to avoid blinking / blink-in of geometry for the first frame or for out-of-range LOD children coming back into view.
* getPassed now considers the distance from the near plane to the bounding sphere (rather than eye point to bounding sphere) when determining if the viewer is "inside" the bounding sphere or not."
of OSG. I modified the osgDB::InputStream and OutputStream and the
PagedLOD wrapper as well. Now all seems to work fine with paged
scenes. I've tested with the puget terrain data and the osgdem
application from VPB:
# osgdem --xx 10 --yy 10 -t ps_texture_4k.tif --xx 10 --yy 10 -d
ps_height_4k.tif -l 8 -v 0.1 -o puget.osgb
As the ive plugin does, The PagedLOD wrapper now automatically add the
latest file path to PagedLODs' databasePath member, to help them find
correct child positions. I also changed the image storage strategy of
the OutputStream class, to store them inline by default. The osgt
extension should also work, in case the image files are also written
to the disk.
"
which utilises a global recursive mutex that is dedicated to manage Observer and ObserverSet.
The new global mutex for observers avoids problems with deadlocks that were occurring previously when
an osg::Refenced object was being deleted at the same time as on osg::ObserverNodePath.
the extra capability of making it possible for Observers to assume ownership of a object that would otherwsie be deleted.
Added a thread safe ref_ptr<T> observer_ptr<T>::lock() method for robust access to an observed object. This
makes observer_ptr<> more equivilant to boosts weak_ptr.
Introduced the OSG_NOTIFY_DISABLE Cmake variable + include/osg/Config #define to control whether the OpenSceneGraph build
should disable the notification system completely. By setting OSG_NOTIFY_DISABLE to ON in CMake and then rebuilding the
the OSG you can get a slightly smaller (~1%) and more slightly efficient library which can be good for shipping applications,
but with downside of reduced ability to detect runtime problems and their causes.
OSGDB_EXPORT macro to RegisterCompressorProxy, and modified the
findCompressor() method to look for custom compressors in libraries
such like osgdb_compressor_name.so, which was described in the wiki
page chapter 2.4."
1. Rewrite the reading/writing exception handlers to work like the ive
plugin exceptions.
2. Write a header writing/checking function in ReaderWriterOSG2.cpp,
which may help decide if the stream is ascii or binary. The
readInputIterator() function will return null pointer if the input
file is nither osgb nor osgt format, which indicates that the old .osg
format could be used here, in case we've merged the two plugins
together.
3. Add a new ForceReadingImage option in the InputStream, which will
allocate an empty image object with the filename if specifed external
image file is missed. It may be useful for format converting in some
cases.
4. Add new osgParticle wrappers, as well as some modification to the
osgParticle headers, for instance, change isEnabled() to getEnabled().
5. Some fixes to the osg serialization wrappers."
Bone now inherit from MatrixTransform. It simplify a lot the update of
Bone matrix. It helps to have the bone system more generic. eg it's now
possible to have animation data with precomputed bind matrix. The other
benefit, is now the collada plugin will be able to use osgAnimation to
display skinned mesh. Michael Plating did a great work to improve this
aspect, he is working on the collada plugin and should be able to submit
a new version soon.
The RigGeometry has been refactored so now it works when you save and
reload RigGeometry because the source is not touched anymore. The
benefit with this update is that it should be now possible to use a
MorphGeometry as source for a RigGeometry.
The bad news is that the format has changed, so i have rebuild osg-data
related to osgAnimation data, updated the blender exporter to export to
the new format.
The fbx plugin could be touched about this commit, i dont compile it so
i can't give more information about it.
The bvh plugin has been updated by Wang rui so this one is fixed with
the new code of osgAnimation.
The examples has been updated to work with the new code too...
The example osg-data/example.osg should be remove, it's an old example
that does not work.
For people using blender the blender exporter up to date is here:
http://hg.plopbyte.net/osgexport2/
it will be merge to http://hg.plopbyte.net/osgexport/ as soon as the
modification will be push in the trunk.

I found very useful to have a control whether osgView::setCameraManipulator does or does not reset camera to home position.
I extended method signature as follows:
void setCameraManipulator(osgGA::MatrixManipulator* manipulator, bool resetPosition = true);
keeping the current usage intact (default parameter), while enabling user to disable the position reset. That can be useful in the situation when manipulator position was already loaded, for example from a file (user specification), or defined any other way, while we do not want to be reset to home position. Other usability is usage of two manipulators in a modeling program (orbiting around the model, walking on the model) and changing between them while we want to preserve the position of a camera in the change. Games may benefit from it as well when we change from user-defined helicopter manipulator to soldier manipulator because the user escaped the helicopter. The camera will change manipulator but the position is expected to be kept in the transition (provided that user makes the state transition between the two manipulators himself).

From Robert Osfield, I didn't merge the change of parameter type of IntersectKdTree::intersect() as the internal maths is all done in Vec3s. Keeping Vec3 here hasn't effected the test results.
destruction of RequestQueue to remove any pointers held in DatabaseRequest attached to the scene graph, and to
prevent their subsequent use in cases where the scene graph is attached to a new DatabasePager.
to the osgDB::Registry. Added a osgDB::Registry::getObjectWrapperManager() for access of this object wrapper manager. This
change centralises the singleton management in osgDB.
Merged the osgDB::GlobalLookUpTable functionality into ObjectWrapperManger to keep down the number of singletons in use.
From Robert Osfield, refactor of Wang Rui's original osg2 into 3 parts - parts placed into osgDB, the ReaderWriter placed into src/osg/Plugin/osg and wrappers into src/osgWrappers/serializers/osg
osg::Texture1D classes, for the reason of implementing the I/O
serialization feature. In the Sequence header, I've added some more
convenient functions: setTimeList/getTimeList,
setLoopMode/getLoopMode, setBegin/getBegin, setEnd/getEnd,
setSpeed/getSpeed and setNumRepeats/getNumRepeats.
In the Texture1D header, fixed:
inline void setTextureWidth(int width) const ...
to:
inline void setTextureWidth(int width) ..."
Notes from Robert Osfield, have gone a little further with these changes and have removed some of the original get methods that were out of step with the way the rest of the OSG manages the set/get property pairs.
1. The node type will be set to ATOM on read of <tag prop="..." ... /> type tags.
2. GROUP and NODE are now written using the same code (and not just duplicated code). Also NODE will not be written as an ATOM if it has no children or contents, so you need to set the type to ATOM if you want the <tag ... /> style.
3. You had put the write of "/>" for ATOM after the "return true", so it had no effect... Moved to before the return.
4. ATOM did not write its properties correctly, fixed.
5. As an added bonus, I made the write() method indent the output so it's more readable. It brings a small public interface change but the indent argument has a default value so client code doesn't need to change (if there even is any).
6. Another added bonus, I've simplified the write() method a bit by factoring out the write for children and properties into protected methods."
1) Add getShadowComparison() accessor function to osg::Texture class
2) Modify ReaderWriterTiff::writeTifStream() and _readColor() (in Image.cpp) to handle pixelFormat==GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT as if it were GL_LUMINANCE
3) Modify the Texture classes of the ive and osg plug-ins so that they save/load the following Texture members: _use_shadow_comparison, _shadow_compare_func and _shadow_texture_mode

glActiveTexture on every State::apply after more than one texunits have been
used.
This is against 2.9.6 (I think SVN head is the same)
Quick Synopsis:
New functions:
State::applyModeOnTexUnit
State::applyAttributeOnTexUnit
State::applyModeMapOnTexUnit
State::applyAttributeMapOnTexUnit
State::applyModeListOnTexUnit
State::applyAttributeListOnTexUnit
All copies of the normal versions, but they also set the active tex unit if
absolutely necessary (i.e. only if they call something OpenGL).
State::apply (*2)
State::applyTextureAttribute
Changed to call the above functions and no longer call setActiveTextureUnit
themselves.
State::setActiveTextureUnit
Made inline, so the benefit of having applyModeOnTexUnit (etc) inline
is retained.

To enable the automatic attachment of the required update callback to call osg::Image::update(..) subclasses from osg::Image will
need to implement the osg::Image::requestUpdateCall() and return true, and implement the osg::Image::update(NodeVisitor*) method to recieve the update call during the update traversal.

does not mimic the simple RGB color interpolation that OpenGL does.
It's overkill and causes unexpected visual artifacts. In the attached
files I've removed the conversion to HSV so that interpolation happens
in RGB space."
osg::GraphicsContext, in order to give good integration with the
application's GUI toolkit. This works really well.
However, I need to share OpenGL texture resources with the standard
osgViewer GraphicsContext implementations, in particular the
PixelBuffers. This is essential for my application to conserve graphics
memory on low-end hardware. Currently the standard osg implementations
will not share resources with another derived osg::GraphicsContext,
other than the pre-defined osgViewer classes e.g. PixelBufferX11 is
hardcoded to only share resources with GraphicsWindowX11 and
PixelBufferX11 objects, and no other osg::GraphicsContext object.
To address this in the cleanest way I could think of, I have moved the
OpenGL handle variables for each platform into a small utility class,
e.g. GraphicsHandleX11 for unix. Then GraphicsWindowX11, PixelBufferX11
and any other derived osg::GraphicsContext class can inherit from
GraphicsHandleX11 to share OpenGL resources.
I have updated the X11, Win32 and Carbon implementations to use this.
The changes are minor. I haven't touched the Cocoa implmentation as
I'm not familiar with it at all and couldn't test it - it will work
unchanged.
Without this I had some horrible hacks in my application, this greatly
simplifies things for me. It also simplifies the osgViewer
implementations slightly. Perhaps it may help with other users'
desires to share resources with external graphics contexts, as was
discussed on the user list recently."
Notes from Robert Osfield, adapted Colin's submission to work with the new EGL related changes.
filenames starting with a dash "-" character from the (std::vector<std::string>&) version
of osgDB::readNodeFiles. Handling of argument strings is properly implemented in the
osgDB::readNodeFiles(osg::ArgumentParser& arguments,const Options* options)
variant, which most code uses. The (std::vector<std::string>&) version is only called by
the osgconv utility, which does its own argument handling and stripping prior to calling
readNodeFiles().
Also, documented this behaviour in the header comments.
I believe this code removal is a meritful change because leavign the code in causes an
unexpected and undocumented behaviour (ignoring any filename starting with a dash) that
could bite users in the future. This behaviour is not needed for existing functionality
because existing code uses other APIs to handle dash-prefixed arguments anyway.
"
only create 376, then the program would hang.
376 * 8MB stack per thread = 3008 MB
The stack size allocated per thread blew the process address stack.
To get more threads you have to specify a smaller per thread stack,
but while the Thread::start says it will limit the stack size to the
smallest allowable stack size, it won't let it be smaller than the
default. I included the limits.h header to use PTHREAD_STACK_MIN as
the minimum stack size.
As for the deadlock, if the pthread_create failed, the new thread
doesn't exist and doesn't call threadStartedBlock.release(), so the
existing thread deadlocks on threadStartedBlock.block(). Only block
if the thread was started."
I've needed to run a recorded simulation offscreen and save it to a sequence of images, and the ScreenCaptureHandler seemed to be the simplest way to do that, and with this change it's possible.
Another change: I've also added the ability to specify continuous capture of all frames, or a certain number of frames. ScreenCaptureHandler now has a setFramesToCapture(int) method. The argument will be interpreted as:
0 : don't capture
<0 : capture continuously
>0 : capture that number of frames then stop
I also added startCapture() and stopCapture() methods so that user code can start capturing (either continuously or the given number of frames) at a given point in their program. setFramesToCapture() won't start capturing, you have to call startCapture() afterwards. The handler also now has another key to toggle continuous capture (defaults to 'C').
Note that continuous capture will of course only work if the CaptureOperation writes to different files (for example, a WriteToFile with SEQUENTIAL_NUMBER mode) or does something different each time... Otherwise it will just overwrite of course. :-)
I've also taken the chance to refactor the addCallbackToViewer() method a bit too, since finding the right camera is needed in two places now.
I've tested all cases (I think). If you want to try, in osgviewer.cpp and replace the line
// add the screen capture handler
viewer.addEventHandler(new osgViewer::ScreenCaptureHandler);
with
// add the screen capture handler
osgViewer::ScreenCaptureHandler* captureHandler = new
osgViewer::ScreenCaptureHandler(
new osgViewer::ScreenCaptureHandler::WriteToFile(
"screenshot", "jpg",
osgViewer::ScreenCaptureHandler::WriteToFile::SEQUENTIAL_NUMBER),
-1);
viewer.addEventHandler(captureHandler);
captureHandler->startCapture();
And vary the "-1" (put 0, 10, 50) and then use the 'c' and 'C' keys and see how it reacts.
"
DisplaySettings now define COLOR and DEPTH as defaults for implicit buffers. Consequently Camera by default uses the same defaults through USE_DISPLAY_SETTINGS_MASK. However, particular Camera mask can be easily overriden through Camera::setImplicitBufferAttachmentMask method. I hope, that in this way we can have global control over implicit buffer defaults, and we can still retain fine grained control at Camera level.
I have also replaced original unsigned ints used to store masks to signed ints because complier resolves enums as signed integer (I got a number of warnings with unsigned int)."
Most notable the __hpux define stuff. The __hpux__ variant seems to be not
defined which resulted in a compile error at this time. Consequently I have
replaced all occurances of __hpux__ with __hpux. And huge surprise: now osg
plugins are found and loaded correctly ...
The next notable one is the MSVC_IDE fix which makes the nmake Makefiles cmake
generator target behave like the ide one. Showed up because I started to do
scripted builds with nmake instead of devenv...
The rest is the usual bunch of stuff that just happens during normal
coding ..."
Fixed to osg::Texture for GLES support.
Added automatic GLenum mode mappings in osg::PrimitiveSet to provide a fallback for non support glDrawArray/glDrawElement modes.
Added finer gained error checking during StateSet::compile().
