To select standard OpenGL 1/2 build with full backwards and forwards comtability use:
./configure
make
OR
./configure -DOPENGL_PROFILE=GL2
To select OpenGL 3 core profile build using GL3/gl3.h header:
./configure -DOPENGL_PROFILE=GL3
To select OpenGL Arb core profile build using GL/glcorearb.h header:
./configure -DOPENGL_PROFILE=GLCORE
To select OpenGL ES 1.1 profile use:
./configure -DOPENGL_PROFILE=GLES1
To select OpenGL ES 2 profile use:
./configure -DOPENGL_PROFILE=GLES2
Using OPENGL_PROFILE will select all the appropriate features required so no other settings in cmake will need to be adjusted.
The new configuration options are stored in the include/osg/OpenGL header that deprecates the old include/osg/GL header.

osgshaders.cpp and demonstrates the use of GLSL vertex and fragment
shaders with a simple animation callback. I found the osgshaders.cpp
too complex to serve as a starting point for GLSL programming"
10.6), which will forward all multi-touch events from a trackpad to the
corresponding osgGA-event-structures.
The support is switched off per default, but you can enable multi-touch
support via a new flag for GraphicsWindowCocoa::WindowData or directly
via the GraphicsWindowCocoa-class.
After switching multi-touch-support on, all mouse-events from the
trackpad get ignored, otherwise you'll have multiple events for the same
pointer which is very confusing (as the trackpad reports absolute
movement, and as a mouse relative movement).
I think this is not a problem, as multi-touch-input is a completely
different beast as a mouse, so you'll have to code your own
event-handlers anyway.
While coding this stuff, I asked myself if we should refactor
GUIEventAdapter/EventQueue and assign a specific event-type for
touch-input instead of using PUSH/DRAG/RELEASE. This will make it
clearer how to use the code, but will break the mouse-emulation for the
first touch-point and with that all existing manipulators. What do you
think? I am happy to code the proposed changes.
Additionally I created a small (and ugly) example osgmultitouch which
makes use of the osgGA::MultiTouchTrackballManipulator, shows all
touch-points on a HUD and demonstrates how to get the touchpoints from
an osgGA::GUIEventAdapter.
There's even a small example video here: http://vimeo.com/31611842"

contributed my testcase/demo for the original implementation.
This attached change is similar to osgtext but uses the QFontImplementation in
a Qt based viewer.
With that, it should be easier for all of us to test changes in
qfontimplementation"
I uses a queue of Camera objects to do offscreen rendering with the Camera::attach() function. The entire picture is split into many tiles and it will take a few seconds while attaching and detaching cameras with tiles. You may select to output every tile as an image file, or combine them together to create a large poster, for example, a 12800 x 9600 image.
Start the program like this:
./osgposter --output-poster --poster output.bmp --tilesize 800 600 --finalsize 8000 6000 cow.osg
Adjust the scene camera to a suitable position and press 'p' or 'P' on the keyboard. Wait until sub-cameras dispatching is finished. And the poster file will be created while closing window. A 8000 x 6000 output.bmp will be created to show a fine-printed cow. :)
The command below may also help:
./osgposter --help

changes from the DirectInput devices and add events to the event
queue. I've tested with the keyboard and joystick supports. Because of
only having a very old 6-button gamepad, I can't do more experiments.
Hope this will bring more ideas to those who face similar problems,
especially simulation game designers. :)
I didn't map all DirectInput key values to GUIEventAdapter key
symbols. Users may add more in the buildKeyMap() function freely. The
mouse handling operations are also ignored, but will be easily
improved in the same way of creating keyboard and joystick devices.
Please add a line:
FIND_PACKAGE(DirectInput)
in the CMakeLists of root directory. And in the examples/CMakeLists.txt:
IF(DIRECTINPUT_FOUND)
ADD_SUBDIRECTORY(osgdirectinput)
ENDIF(DIRECTINPUT_FOUND)
DirectX SDK 2009 is used here, but an older version like DX8 should
also work in my opinion.

A few things remain to do:
* The binding between a uniform block in a shader program and a buffer indexed target number is fixed, like a vertex attribute binding. This is too restrictive because that binding can be changed without relinking the program. This mapping should be done by name in the same way that uniform values are handled i.e., like a pseudo state attribute;
* There's no direct way yet to query for the offset of uniforms in uniform block, so only the std140 layout is really usable. A helper class that implemented the std140 rules would be quite helpful for setting up uniform blocks without having to link a program first;
* There's no direct support for querying parameters such as the maximum block length, minimum offset alignment, etc. Having that information available outside of the draw thread would make certain instancing techniques easier to implement."
attached you'll find the second part of the IOS-submission. It contains
* GraphicsWindowIOS, which supports external and "retina" displays,
multisample-buffers (for IOS > 4.0) and multi-touch-events
* an ios-specific implementation of the imageio-plugin
* an iphone-viewer example
* cMake support for creating a xcode-project
* an updated ReadMe-file describing the necessary steps to get a
working xcode-project-file from CMake
Please credit Thomas Hogarth and Stephan Huber for these changes.
This brings the ios-support in line with the git-fork on github. It
needs some more testing and some more love, the cmake-process is still a
little complicated.
You'll need a special version of the freetype lib compiled for IOS,
there's one bundled in the OpenFrameworks-distribution, which can be used."
Notes, from Robert Osfield, modified CMakeLists.txt files so that the IOS specific paths are within IF(APPLE) blocks.
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."
changed extensions from .c to .cpp and got compiling as C files as part of the osg core library.
Updated and cleaned up the rest of the OSG to use the new internal GLU.
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.

short oit. This rendering technique is also known as depth peeling.
Attached is the example that makes depth peeling work with the fixed function
pipeline. Ok, this is 'old fashioned' but required for our use case that
still has to work on older UNIX OpenGL implementations as well as together
with a whole existing application making use of the fixed function pipeline.
I can imagine to add support for shaders when we have that shader composition
framework where we can add a second depth test in a generic way.
This does *not* implement the dual depth peeling described in a paper from the
ETH Zurich.
This example could serve as a test case for the feature that you can on the
fly remove pre render cameras that you made work a few time ago.
It is also a test case for the new TraversalOrderBin that is used to composite
the depth layers in the correct blend order.
This example also stresses your new texture object cache since you can change
some parameters for the oit implementation at runtime.
You can just load any model with osgoit and see how it works.
Use the usual help key to see what you can change.
There is already an osgdepthpeeling example that I could not really make sense
of up to now. So I just made something new without touching what I do not
understand."
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."
The new example, named osgviewerQtContext (because of deriving from GraphicsContext), works fine on Windows XP SP3 and Qt 4.5.0, with 4 widgets in QGridLayout and a popup window and 60Hz frame rate. I haven't tested it on Unix/Linux and Mac OSX yet. So any feedback from these platforms is appreciated. I wish this example be a useful complement to current osgviewerQt and osgviewerQtWidgets ones. :)
Some unfinished functionalities: inheritedWindowData, sharedContext, and more tests needed."
