dxfSection classes, so their members data are correctly deleted.
- changed some methods signatures to pass arguments by reference instead of
by value. The performance and memory usage are enhanced (the reader was
clogging the heap when reading some large DXF files)
The updated files have been compiled and tested with a variety of DXF files
on XP with VS2003, but the changes should not disturb any other compiler."
default Registry Options object, but it would be useful to be able to
request loading with a different Options object. The attached files
allow you to do that (based off the OSG 1.2 source).
For example, I'm implementing a loader that requires context information
when it pages in subgraphs, which becomes significantly complicated when
multiple scenegraphs are requesting subgraph loads with different
contexts (the loader needs to know which context to use, and the
Registry Options needs to be carefully managed so the context settings
don't clobber each other, especially in multithreaded situations). Being
able to pass an Options instance along with the Node request resolves
this problem."
Performance tests on big models did not indicate any performance penalty in using doubles over floats,
so the move to doubles should mainly impact precision improvements for whole earth databases.
Also made improvements to osgUtil::PlaneIntersector and osgSim::ElevationSlice classes
created local to RenderStage and passed on to rendering code which populated
the RenderInfo UserData, but without the restoring the new UserData to the
main RenderInfo. The local RenderInfo UserData is now passed back to the main
RenderInfo.
Under this mode, each 4x4 texel block can selectively use an alpha component or none. When alpha-enabled blocks are present, this is not reported in the DDPF_ALPHAPIXELS bit in the pixel format flags causing the reader-writer to report the file as a 3-components file (GL_COMPRESSED_RGB_S3TC_DXT1_EXT). The fix requires looking at each 4x4 texel block to detect the presence of 1-bit alpha encoding. When such a block is found, the internal & pixel formats are reported as GL_COMPRESSED_RGBA_S3TC_DXT1_EXT instead.
