per scene view. The user can attach a NodeVisitor to do init for them, or
leave it to the default which is to use the osgUtil::DisplayListVisitor
which compiles all display lists and texture objects. The init traversal
is called automatically by the first call to either app() or cull(), so
should not be called by user code during initialization. This ensures
that a valid graphics context has been established before OpenGL is initialized.
osgUtil::DisplayListVisitor has also been updated to use a bit mask for options, and the addition of
compilation of texture objects (via StateAttribute::compile) has also been
added.
different types of optimization on the scene graph - state optimization,
flattening static transforms, combining LOD's and removing redundent groups.
The new Optimizer replaces the once seperate OptimizerStateVisitor.
should be applied to a node or its child with the new osg::Node::setCullingActive()
flag. A mechanism has been implemented so that if child has its culling disabled
then their parents, all the way up to the root are also have their culling
implicitly disabled.
The osg::CullVisitor has updated to take account of
both the explicit control via setCullingActive and the implicit culling
disabling through children being disabled.
This feature is useful for nodes which don't have a bounding volume to cull
against, earth sky implementations and light sources.
The default osg::Node::_cullingActive is true, i.e. culling is enabled by
default.
updated the ReaderWriterBMP.cpp (mods sent in my Geoff Michel) and
moved the osgUtil::Statistics to osg::Statistics in preperation to adding it
to the the Drawable base class.
Also move osg across to using radians for angular paramters by default.
By defining USE_DEGREES_INTERNALLY you can get the OSG to revert to
the old style degrees. This later feature is deprecated and only meant
for helping comptability in the interim.
added support in osgUtil::OptimizeStateVisitor for removing duplicate
StateSet's from the scene graph, previously only duplicated StateAttributes
we're removed.
graph and builds up a map of all StateAttributes and StateSets
and then removes the duplicates. This promotes state sharing
throughout the scene graph which inturn can significantly improve
performance thanks to reduced state changing. Particularily
effective on datasets where a great deal of duplicated state
exists.
o Added pure virtual compare(const osg::StateAttribute&)
method to osg::StateAttribute, and implemented it in all the
subclasses from StateAttribute. Added <,== & != operator
on StateAttribute and Matrix to support new StateOptimizeVisitor.
o Added META_Object, META_Node and META_StateAttribute macros to
Object, Node and StateAttribute respectively which define the
standard pure virtual methods such as clone, className
& isSameKindAs. Changed all the appropriate header files to
use these macro's rather define them in each header, these cleans
up the headers considerably.
o Corrected the implementation of osg::Light::getType so it correctly
uses a unique type for each of the OpenGL lights (GL_LIGHT0..
GL_LIGHT7 relates to osg::StateAttriburte::LIGHT_0..LIGHT_7.
o Changed the definition of osg::StateStateAttribute::Type to
is now a unsigned int rather than an enum, and have changed the
name of the previous Type enum list to be Types. This makes it
more consistent with the difination of values found in
StateAttribute
and also easier to extend with having to cast to an enum.
o From Pail Fredrikson, updated Maitrx.new implemention which uses
the same matrix orientation as the original Matrix implemention.
but getting there.
o First cut of osgcluster demo. Very simple beginings. Alas
I only one PC here so I can't test it in its current guise.
o New support for NodeCallbacks, via AppCallback attached to
osg::Node's, and a default osgUtil::AppVisitor which calls them on
each frame.
o Support for traversal masks in osg::NodeVisitor, osg::Node
which allows nodes to be switched on or off via a bit mask.
o Suppport for traversal number (frame number) and reference time
into osg::NodeVisitor to handle syncronization of app and cull
traversals. This also assist clustering as traversal number
master to slaves.
