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."
the actual implemention. This has been done so that when a freetype font is
created the implementation can unloaded when the freetype plugin is unloaded
without breaking the main font.
Also add image margin around founds to prevent any image boundaries appearing.
that they arn't created on the stack inappropriately.
Split the implemention of Matrix up so that it is a simple no referenced counted
class and can be safefly created on the stack. To support referenced counting a
seperate subclass now exists, this is RefMatrix which inherits from both Matrix and
Object.
