A Collada camera will be added to the scenegraph as osg::CameraView. This allows the user to create a set of predefined camera viewpoints. I also added a new MatrixManipulator to osgGA called CameraViewSwitchManipulator and added usage of this to the osgviewer example. This manipulator allows switching between the predefined camera viewpoints. The current design limition I ran into is that a MatrixManipulator only manipulates the ViewMatrix, but for this particular manipulator I also want to update the projectionMatrix of the camera when switching to a new viewpoint. This is not implemented because I don't know what would be the best way to design it. Any ideas?
Furthermore Collada also supports orthographic camera's, where an osg::CameraView only supports a perspective camera. Would it be useful to create a CameraView with customizable optics for this?"
It's a minimal change, it just calls an already existing protected method. It was trivial to subclass the handler to do it in our code, but pushing the change into OSG makes sense as it's generally useful to have it in the handler itself.
I also noticed that the handle() method was overridden from osgGA::GUIEventHandler but wasn't marked virtual. It wasn't intended that subclasses not be able to override it in turn, so I've added the keyword.""
returns true if (the extension string is supported or GL version is greater than or equal to a specified version) and
non extension disable is used. This makes it possible to disable extensions that are now
available as parts of the core OpenGL spec.
Updated Texture.cpp is use this method.
/** Convinience method that sets the update callback of the node if it doesn't exist, or nest it into the existing one. */
void addUpdateCallback(NodeCallback* nc);
/** Convinience method that removes a given callback from a node, even if that callback is nested. There is no error return in case the given callback is not found. */
void removeUpdateCallback(NodeCallback* nc);
... and the same for Event and Cull callbacks methods."
--------------------------------------------
Descripton:
The patch does provide a new class PixelDataBufferObject which is capable of allocating memory on the GPU side (PBO memory) of arbitrary size. The memory can then further be used to be enabled into read mode (GL_PIXEL_UNPACK_BUFFER_ARB) or in write mode (GL_PIXEL_PACK_BUFFER_ARB). Enabling the buffer into write mode will force the driver to write data from bounded textures into that buffer (i.e. glGetTexImage). Using buffer in read mode give you the possibility to read data from the buffer into a texture with e.g. glTexSubImage or other instuctions. Hence no data is copied over the CPU (host memory), all the operations are done in the GPU memory.
--------------------------------------------
Compatibility:
The new class require the unbindBuffer method from the base class BufferObject to be virtual, which shouldn't break any functionality of already existing classes. Except of this the new class is fully orthogonal to existing one, hence can be safely added into already existing osg system.
--------------------------------------------
Testing:
The new class was tested in the current svn version of osgPPU. I am using the new class to copy data from textures into the PBO and hence provide them to CUDA kernels. Also reading the results back from CUDA is implemented using the provided patch. The given patch gives a possibility of easy interoperability between CUDA and osg (osgPPU ;) )
--------------------------------------------
I think in general it is a better way to derive the PixelBufferObject class from PixelDataBufferObject, since the second one is a generalization of the first one. However this could break the current functionality, hence I haven't implemented it in such a way. However I would push that on a stack of wished osg 3.x features, since this will reflect the OpenGL PBO functionality through the classes better.
"
* When used PDS RenderStage::runCameraSetUp sets flag that FBO has already stencil,depth buffer attached. Prevents adding next depth buffer.
* Sets correct traits for p-buffer if used PDS and something goes wrong with FBO setup or p-buffer is used directly.
* Adds warning to camera if user add depth/stencil already attached through PDS.
* Sets blitMask when use blit to resolve buffer.
There is also new example with using multisampled FBO."
I have not reverted added Compiler options. I assume that one may want to have warnings enabled for the application but may not want to see them while OSG libraries and examples compile.
Modified files:
osg/Export - now explicitly includes osg/Config to make sure OSG_DISABLE_MSVC_WARNINGS is read
osg/Config.in - declares OSG_DISABLE_MSVC_WARNINGS flag to be added to autogenerated osg/Config
CMakeLists.txt - declares OSG_DISABLE_MSVC_WARNINGS as option with default ON setting

set to off. But could be activated/decativated via CMake as well as system

off this workaround by default as suggested."
facilitate the subclassing of Image providing interactive behaviours so as
used in the vnc interactive VncImage class.
osgViewer::InteractiveImageHandler provides an event handler that convertes osgGA
mouse and keyboard events into the coordinate frame of an image based on ray intersection with geometry in
the associated subgraph.
Changed the ordering of events processing in Viewer and CompositeViewer to allow
scene graph event handlers to take precidence over viewer event handlers and camera manipulators

and a later post the same osg-submissions thread:
"it's been a while since I have made the changes but I think it was due to problems with static builds of OpenThreads on windows. I was using
OpenThreads in a communication/synchronisation library (without
OpenSceneGraph). It seems I forgot to post a small change in the CMakeLists file of OpenThreads. If a user turns DYNAMIC_OPENTHREADS to OFF (static build) OT_LIBRARY_STATIC will be defined in the Config.
Without these changes a windows user will always end up with a "__declspec(dllexport)" or "__declspec(dllimport)" which is a problem for static builds."
And another post from Blasius on this topic:
"I tested with VS2005 and VS2008. For 32 bit everything works as expected. For x64 and VS2008 I could successfully do the cmake-configure and then the compilation but I had occasional crashes of cmTryCompileExec.exe (during the cmake-configure phase) which seems to be a cmake bug. With VS2005 and 64bit cmake does not set _OPENTHREADS_ATOMIC_USE_WIN32_INTERLOCKED although the interlocked functionality should be there. If I place the source snippet from the CHECK_CXX_SOURCE_RUNS macro to a separate sourcefile I can compile and run the resulting executable successfully. Forcing OPENTHREADS_ATOMIC_USE_WIN32_INTERLOCKED (on VS2005/x64) reveals a bug in "intrin.h" which seems to be fixed in VS2008 but not in VS2005.
In case anyone is interested the lines:
__MACHINEI(unsigned char _interlockedbittestandset(long *a, long b))
__MACHINEI(unsigned char _interlockedbittestandreset(long *a, long b))
__MACHINEX64(unsigned char _interlockedbittestandset64(__int64 *a, __int64 b))
__MACHINEX64(unsigned char _interlockedbittestandreset64(__int64 *a, __int64 b))
should be changed to:
__MACHINEI(unsigned char _interlockedbittestandset(long volatile *a, long b))
__MACHINEI(unsigned char _interlockedbittestandreset(long volatile *a, long b))
__MACHINEX64(unsigned char _interlockedbittestandset64(__int64 volatile *a, __int64 b))
__MACHINEX64(unsigned char _interlockedbittestandreset64(__int64 volatile *a, __int64 b))
The worst thing that can happen is that interlocked funtionality is not detected during cmake-configure and the mutex fallback is used.
Which reminds me another small glitch in the Atomic header so I attached a corrected version.
Why is the OT_LIBRARY_STATIC added to the config file? It is not needed anywhere.
OT_LIBRARY_STATIC is needed if you are doing static-builds on Windows. See my previous post on that.

a capping the number of PagedLOD to a sepcified maximum, with pruning of inactive
PagedLOD when the total number of inactive and active PagedLOD goes above the maximum.
To enable the mode set the env var OSG_MAX_PAGEDLOD to a value something like 1000.
To facilitate this possibility I have added a template copy constructor and a template assignment operator. These work for safe conversions like those in my previous example, but fail as desired for non-safe conversions since the template instantiation fails during the raw pointer copy/assignment.
The lack of this facility has appreciably handicapped development of generic algorithms applied to the scene graph, and I believe that this alteration will be welcomed by most of the community. If there are issues with antiquated compilers not supporting template member functions then perhaps a small piece of conditional compilation is in order.
I have made the change using the latest release version (2.6) as the base. The full file is attached.
I have not tested building the osg wrappers and the script binding code. I have tested the legal and illegal conversions of both copying and assignment to ensure that behave as expected on MSVC7.1, MSVC8, MSVC9, GCC 4.3."
This code will add two extra statistics options:
-Camera scene statistics, stats for the scene after culling (updated at 10 Hz)
-View scene statistics, stats for the complete scene (updated at 5 Hz)
Each camera and each view will expand the statistics to the right.
I also added the requests and objects to compile of the databasepager to the databasepager statistics.""
"Soft shadow mapping is basically the same as hard shadow mapping beside that
it uses a different fragment shader.
So for me it makes sense that osgShadow::SoftShadowMap is derived from
osgShadow::ShadowMap, this makes it easier to maintain the two classes.
Additional SoftShadowMap also provides the same Debug methods as ShadowMap."
set.
The optimization is based on the observation that matrix matrix multiplication
with a dense matrix 4x4 is 4^3 Operations whereas multiplication with a
transform, or scale matrix is only 4^2 operations. Which is a gain of a
*FACTOR*4* for these special cases.
The change implements these special cases, provides a unit test for these
implementation and converts uses of the expensiver dense matrix matrix
routine with the specialized versions.
Depending on the transform nodes in the scenegraph this change gives a
noticable improovement.
For example the osgforest code using the MatrixTransform is about 20% slower
than the same codepath using the PositionAttitudeTransform instead of the
MatrixTransform with this patch applied.
If I remember right, the sse type optimizations did *not* provide a factor 4
improovement. Also these changes are totally independent of any cpu or
instruction set architecture. So I would prefer to have this current kind of
change instead of some hand coded and cpu dependent assembly stuff. If we
need that hand tuned stuff, these can go on top of this changes which must
provide than hand optimized additional variants for the specialized versions
to give a even better result in the end.
An other change included here is a change to rotation matrix from quaterion
code. There is a sqrt call which couold be optimized away. Since we divide in
effect by sqrt(length)*sqrt(length) which is just length ...
