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.
these global attributes are created by cloning any attributes which are
applied during rendering, the clone in a shallow copy, which will set up
default valus for that attribute. This should prevent attribute bleed
from one stateset to the next when the global StateSet doesn't contain
an attribute used within the scene graph.

for settings options in osgDB::Registry, and added the paramter to all of the
reaader/writer plugins. The Options structure by default has an string attached
for packing basic options, however, it also can be subclassed to encapsulate
any users defined option data. In the later case both the client code *and*
the plugin need to be aware of subclass, the plugin will need to use
dynamic_cast<> to assertain its type.
This is probably due to an error on the gamasutra web page demonstrating this.
It caused left-handed rotations rather than right handed rotations. Should be
fixed now.
