Changes:
- new mouse wheel zoom/movement/center functionality
- ability to fix vertical axis (important for CAD)
- possibility to specify values as absolute values or relative to model size
- kind of backward compatibility by flags passed to constructor
- and much more
- restructuring classes to use kind of hierarchy and standard way of event processing (handle methods). This way, there is much more code reusability and it is more easy to develop new kinds of manipulators.
Briefly, the new architecture keeps MatrixManipulator as base abstract class. StandardManipulator is the feature-rich standard manipulator with two main descendant classes: OrbitManipulator and FirstPersonManipulator. OrbitManipulator is base class for all trackball style manipulators, based on center, rotation and distance from center. FirstPersonManipulator is base for walk or fly style manipulators, using position and rotation for camera manipulation.

Changes by Robert: Replaced osg::Vec3 by osg::Vec3d, introduced DEFAULT_SETTINGS enum and usage. Added frame time member variables in prep for improving throw animation when vysync is off.
the OutputStream/InputStream implementations, which was just finished
last weekend with a few tests on Windows and Ubuntu. Hope it could
work and get more feedbacks soon.
I've added a new option "SchemaData" to the osg2 plugin. Developers
may test the new feature with the command line:
# osgconv cow.osg cow.osgb -O SchemaData
It will record all serializer properties used in the scene graph, at
the beginning of the generated file. And when osgviewer and user
applications is going to read the osgb file, the inbuilt data will be
automatically read and applied first, to keep backwards compatibility
partly. This will not affect osgb files generated with older versions.
"
in process: a wrong definition of the OSG_FATAL macro, and wrong logic
inside the KeySwitchMatrixManipulator::getDistance() function. I
believe both were slips."
META_OSGMANIPULATOR_Object macro to ensure these classes could work
with their wrappers, and a few naming styles should be changed as
well. Fortunately everything seems to compile fine under Windows and
my new Ubuntu system.
And I finally find the problem of the
serializers/osgTerrain/Terrain.cpp, it just missed an "osg::Group"
before "osg::CoordinateSystemNode" indicator. With the small fix
attached now VPB could generate terrain with osgt/osgb formats."
Texture2DMultismaple as name suggests provides means to directly access subsamples of rendered FBO target. (GLSL 1.5 texelFetch call).
Recently I was working on deferred renderer with OSG, during that I noticed there is no support for multisampled textures (GL_ARB_texture_multisample extension). After consultations with Paul Martz and Wojtek Lewandowski I added Texture2DMultisample class and made few necessary changes around osg::FrameBufferObject, osg::Texture and osgUtil::RenderStage classes."
and from follow email:
"Fixed. According to ARB_texture_multisample extension specification multisample textures don't need TexParameters since they can only be fetched with texelFetch."
modifications of the osgShadow header naming styles as well. The
osgDB::Serializer header is also changed to add new Vec2 serializer
macros because of the needs of osgShadow classes. It should compile
fine on both Windows and Linux. But I have only done a few tests to
generate .osgb, .osgt and .osgx formats with these new wrappers."
few headers and the osgAnimation sources are also modified to make
everything goes well, including:
A new REGISTER_OBJECT_WRAPPER2 macro to wrap classes like
Skeleton::UpdateSkeleton.
A bug fix in the Seralizer header which avoids setting default values
to objects.
Naming style fixes in osgAnimation headers and sources, also in the
deprecated dotosg wrappers.
A bug fix for the XML support, to write char values correctly.
A small change in the osg::Geometry wrapper to ignore the
InternalGeometry property, which is used by the MorphGeometry and
should not be set by user applications.
The avatar.osg, nathan.osg and robot.osg data files all work fine with
serializers, with some 'unsupported wrapper' warnings when converting.
I'm thinking of removing these warnings by disabling related property
serializers (ComputeBoundingBoxCallback and Drawable::UpdateCallback),
which are seldom recorded by users.
By the way, I still wonder how would we handle the C4121 problem,
discussed some days before. The /Zp compile option is set to 16 in the
attached cmake script file. And is there a better solution now?"
now O(n) rather than O(nlogn) where n is the number of requests. The refactoring also cleans up the access of the
request lists so that the code is more readable/maintainable.
using osgDB::XmlParser. The extension for XML-formatted scenes is
.osgx, corresponding to .osgb for binary and .osgt for ascii. It could
either be rendered in osgviewer or edited by common web browsers and
xml editors because of a range of changes to fit the XML syntax. For
example, the recorded class names are slight modified, from
'osg::Geode' to 'osg--Geode'.
To quickly get an XML file:
# ./osgconv cow.osg cow.osgx
The StreamOperator header, InputStreram and OutputStream classes are
modified to be more portable for triple ascii/binary/XML formats. I
also fixed a bug in readImage()/writeImage() to share image objects if
needed.
The ReaderWriterOSG2 class now supports all three formats and
reading/writing scene objects (not nodes or images), thanks to
Torben's advice before.

This change should make it possible to delete PagedLOD's independantly from the DatabasePager, and also prevent issues of
consistency of the pager when subgraphs when are cached elsewhere in the application such as in the Registry filecache.
up vector to setViewMatrixAsLookAt(..) codes in osgShadow. This will addresses previous issues that occured when look vectors
co-incided with the hard coded up vectors.
Fixes in StandardShadowMap.cpp & MinimalShadowMap.cpp were made for spotlight issues. There were cases when further located spotlights were not shadowing properly.
Small tweak in DebugShadowMap & StandardShadowMap.cpp to not limit shadow maps to texture2D (which should also allow texture2D arrays and cube maps). I simply replaced ptr to osg::Texture2D with pointer to osg::Texture. Interpretation of this member could be now changed with change of shaders in derived classes. This may be useful for guys who override LispSM or MinimalBoundsShadowMaps techniques. Could be useful for implementation of PerspectiveCascadedShadowMaps technique for example.
ConvexPolyhedron.cpp & DebugShadowMap.cpp contain debug HUD tweaks.
Change in ConvexPolyhedron.cpp overcomes the regression problem with color per primitive binding which caused that shadow volume outlines stopped to draw. I simply changed PER_PRIMITIVE to PER_PRIMITIVE_SET and it works again.
Other adition is dump method I added to DebugShadowMap which can be used in shadow debugging mode to dump current frame shadow volumes & scene to osg file. It could be then loaded into viewer and freely examined from different angles (which is difficult inside the application if shadow adopts to view and projection). "
osgAnimation. It's been tested with the majority of the samples in the
COLLADA test repository and works with all of them either as well as, or
better than, the version of the plugin currently in SVN.
Known issue: vertex animation (AKA morphing) doesn't work at present,
but that's a relatively unpopular method of animating so it's not high
on my priority list."
Follow up email:
"I've been informed that the previous DAE submission didn't build on
unix, so here's the submission again with the fixes. Thanks to Gregory Potdevin and Benjamin Bozou.
Also, my apologies to Roland for not crediting his part in making DAE
animation happen, my work was indeed built on top of his work. Thanks
also to Marius Heise and of course Cedric Pinson."
Changes by Robert Osfield, fixed compile issues when compile without C* automatic conversion enabled in ref_ptr<>
and constructor initialization fixes to address some warnings under gcc.
* Change OcclusionQueryNode::getPassed to take a NodeVisitor rather than the distance from BS center to the eye point. Change where CullVisitor calls this method to use the new parameters.
* getPassed now exits early and returns true to avoid blinking / blink-in of geometry for the first frame or for out-of-range LOD children coming back into view.
* getPassed now considers the distance from the near plane to the bounding sphere (rather than eye point to bounding sphere) when determining if the viewer is "inside" the bounding sphere or not."
of OSG. I modified the osgDB::InputStream and OutputStream and the
PagedLOD wrapper as well. Now all seems to work fine with paged
scenes. I've tested with the puget terrain data and the osgdem
application from VPB:
# osgdem --xx 10 --yy 10 -t ps_texture_4k.tif --xx 10 --yy 10 -d
ps_height_4k.tif -l 8 -v 0.1 -o puget.osgb
As the ive plugin does, The PagedLOD wrapper now automatically add the
latest file path to PagedLODs' databasePath member, to help them find
correct child positions. I also changed the image storage strategy of
the OutputStream class, to store them inline by default. The osgt
extension should also work, in case the image files are also written
to the disk.

which utilises a global recursive mutex that is dedicated to manage Observer and ObserverSet.
The new global mutex for observers avoids problems with deadlocks that were occurring previously when
an osg::Refenced object was being deleted at the same time as on osg::ObserverNodePath.
the extra capability of making it possible for Observers to assume ownership of a object that would otherwsie be deleted.
Added a thread safe ref_ptr<T> observer_ptr<T>::lock() method for robust access to an observed object. This
makes observer_ptr<> more equivilant to boosts weak_ptr.
Introduced the OSG_NOTIFY_DISABLE Cmake variable + include/osg/Config #define to control whether the OpenSceneGraph build
should disable the notification system completely. By setting OSG_NOTIFY_DISABLE to ON in CMake and then rebuilding the
the OSG you can get a slightly smaller (~1%) and more slightly efficient library which can be good for shipping applications,
but with downside of reduced ability to detect runtime problems and their causes.
OSGDB_EXPORT macro to RegisterCompressorProxy, and modified the
findCompressor() method to look for custom compressors in libraries
such like osgdb_compressor_name.so, which was described in the wiki
page chapter 2.4."
1. Rewrite the reading/writing exception handlers to work like the ive
plugin exceptions.
2. Write a header writing/checking function in ReaderWriterOSG2.cpp,
which may help decide if the stream is ascii or binary. The
readInputIterator() function will return null pointer if the input
file is nither osgb nor osgt format, which indicates that the old .osg
format could be used here, in case we've merged the two plugins
together.
3. Add a new ForceReadingImage option in the InputStream, which will
allocate an empty image object with the filename if specifed external
image file is missed. It may be useful for format converting in some
cases.
4. Add new osgParticle wrappers, as well as some modification to the
osgParticle headers, for instance, change isEnabled() to getEnabled().
5. Some fixes to the osg serialization wrappers."
Bone now inherit from MatrixTransform. It simplify a lot the update of
Bone matrix. It helps to have the bone system more generic. eg it's now
possible to have animation data with precomputed bind matrix. The other
benefit, is now the collada plugin will be able to use osgAnimation to
display skinned mesh. Michael Plating did a great work to improve this
aspect, he is working on the collada plugin and should be able to submit
a new version soon.
The RigGeometry has been refactored so now it works when you save and
reload RigGeometry because the source is not touched anymore. The
benefit with this update is that it should be now possible to use a
MorphGeometry as source for a RigGeometry.
The bad news is that the format has changed, so i have rebuild osg-data
related to osgAnimation data, updated the blender exporter to export to
the new format.
The fbx plugin could be touched about this commit, i dont compile it so
i can't give more information about it.
The bvh plugin has been updated by Wang rui so this one is fixed with
the new code of osgAnimation.
The examples has been updated to work with the new code too...
The example osg-data/example.osg should be remove, it's an old example
that does not work.
For people using blender the blender exporter up to date is here:
http://hg.plopbyte.net/osgexport2/
it will be merge to http://hg.plopbyte.net/osgexport/ as soon as the
modification will be push in the trunk.

I found very useful to have a control whether osgView::setCameraManipulator does or does not reset camera to home position.
I extended method signature as follows:
void setCameraManipulator(osgGA::MatrixManipulator* manipulator, bool resetPosition = true);
keeping the current usage intact (default parameter), while enabling user to disable the position reset. That can be useful in the situation when manipulator position was already loaded, for example from a file (user specification), or defined any other way, while we do not want to be reset to home position. Other usability is usage of two manipulators in a modeling program (orbiting around the model, walking on the model) and changing between them while we want to preserve the position of a camera in the change. Games may benefit from it as well when we change from user-defined helicopter manipulator to soldier manipulator because the user escaped the helicopter. The camera will change manipulator but the position is expected to be kept in the transition (provided that user makes the state transition between the two manipulators himself).
"
From Robert Osfield, I didn't merge the change of parameter type of IntersectKdTree::intersect() as the internal maths is all done in Vec3s. Keeping Vec3 here hasn't effected the test results.
destruction of RequestQueue to remove any pointers held in DatabaseRequest attached to the scene graph, and to
prevent their subsequent use in cases where the scene graph is attached to a new DatabasePager.
to the osgDB::Registry. Added a osgDB::Registry::getObjectWrapperManager() for access of this object wrapper manager. This
change centralises the singleton management in osgDB.
Merged the osgDB::GlobalLookUpTable functionality into ObjectWrapperManger to keep down the number of singletons in use.
From Robert Osfield, refactor of Wang Rui's original osg2 into 3 parts - parts placed into osgDB, the ReaderWriter placed into src/osg/Plugin/osg and wrappers into src/osgWrappers/serializers/osg
osg::Texture1D classes, for the reason of implementing the I/O
serialization feature. In the Sequence header, I've added some more
convenient functions: setTimeList/getTimeList,
setLoopMode/getLoopMode, setBegin/getBegin, setEnd/getEnd,
setSpeed/getSpeed and setNumRepeats/getNumRepeats.
In the Texture1D header, fixed:
inline void setTextureWidth(int width) const ...
to:
inline void setTextureWidth(int width) ..."
Notes from Robert Osfield, have gone a little further with these changes and have removed some of the original get methods that were out of step with the way the rest of the OSG manages the set/get property pairs.
1. The node type will be set to ATOM on read of <tag prop="..." ... /> type tags.
2. GROUP and NODE are now written using the same code (and not just duplicated code). Also NODE will not be written as an ATOM if it has no children or contents, so you need to set the type to ATOM if you want the <tag ... /> style.
3. You had put the write of "/>" for ATOM after the "return true", so it had no effect... Moved to before the return.
4. ATOM did not write its properties correctly, fixed.
5. As an added bonus, I made the write() method indent the output so it's more readable. It brings a small public interface change but the indent argument has a default value so client code doesn't need to change (if there even is any).
6. Another added bonus, I've simplified the write() method a bit by factoring out the write for children and properties into protected methods."
1) Add getShadowComparison() accessor function to osg::Texture class
2) Modify ReaderWriterTiff::writeTifStream() and _readColor() (in Image.cpp) to handle pixelFormat==GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT as if it were GL_LUMINANCE
3) Modify the Texture classes of the ive and osg plug-ins so that they save/load the following Texture members: _use_shadow_comparison, _shadow_compare_func and _shadow_texture_mode

glActiveTexture on every State::apply after more than one texunits have been
used.
This is against 2.9.6 (I think SVN head is the same)
Quick Synopsis:
New functions:
State::applyModeOnTexUnit
State::applyAttributeOnTexUnit
State::applyModeMapOnTexUnit
State::applyAttributeMapOnTexUnit
State::applyModeListOnTexUnit
State::applyAttributeListOnTexUnit
All copies of the normal versions, but they also set the active tex unit if
absolutely necessary (i.e. only if they call something OpenGL).
State::apply (*2)
State::applyTextureAttribute
Changed to call the above functions and no longer call setActiveTextureUnit
themselves.
State::setActiveTextureUnit
Made inline, so the benefit of having applyModeOnTexUnit (etc) inline
is retained.

To enable the automatic attachment of the required update callback to call osg::Image::update(..) subclasses from osg::Image will
need to implement the osg::Image::requestUpdateCall() and return true, and implement the osg::Image::update(NodeVisitor*) method to recieve the update call during the update traversal.

does not mimic the simple RGB color interpolation that OpenGL does.
It's overkill and causes unexpected visual artifacts. In the attached
files I've removed the conversion to HSV so that interpolation happens
in RGB space."
osg::GraphicsContext, in order to give good integration with the
application's GUI toolkit. This works really well.
However, I need to share OpenGL texture resources with the standard
osgViewer GraphicsContext implementations, in particular the
PixelBuffers. This is essential for my application to conserve graphics
memory on low-end hardware. Currently the standard osg implementations
will not share resources with another derived osg::GraphicsContext,
other than the pre-defined osgViewer classes e.g. PixelBufferX11 is
hardcoded to only share resources with GraphicsWindowX11 and
PixelBufferX11 objects, and no other osg::GraphicsContext object.
To address this in the cleanest way I could think of, I have moved the
OpenGL handle variables for each platform into a small utility class,
e.g. GraphicsHandleX11 for unix. Then GraphicsWindowX11, PixelBufferX11
and any other derived osg::GraphicsContext class can inherit from
GraphicsHandleX11 to share OpenGL resources.
I have updated the X11, Win32 and Carbon implementations to use this.
The changes are minor. I haven't touched the Cocoa implmentation as
I'm not familiar with it at all and couldn't test it - it will work
unchanged.
Without this I had some horrible hacks in my application, this greatly
simplifies things for me. It also simplifies the osgViewer
implementations slightly. Perhaps it may help with other users'
desires to share resources with external graphics contexts, as was
discussed on the user list recently."
Notes from Robert Osfield, adapted Colin's submission to work with the new EGL related changes.
filenames starting with a dash "-" character from the (std::vector<std::string>&) version
of osgDB::readNodeFiles. Handling of argument strings is properly implemented in the
osgDB::readNodeFiles(osg::ArgumentParser& arguments,const Options* options)
variant, which most code uses. The (std::vector<std::string>&) version is only called by
the osgconv utility, which does its own argument handling and stripping prior to calling
readNodeFiles().
Also, documented this behaviour in the header comments.
I believe this code removal is a meritful change because leavign the code in causes an
unexpected and undocumented behaviour (ignoring any filename starting with a dash) that
could bite users in the future. This behaviour is not needed for existing functionality
because existing code uses other APIs to handle dash-prefixed arguments anyway.
"
only create 376, then the program would hang.
376 * 8MB stack per thread = 3008 MB
The stack size allocated per thread blew the process address stack.
To get more threads you have to specify a smaller per thread stack,
but while the Thread::start says it will limit the stack size to the
smallest allowable stack size, it won't let it be smaller than the
default. I included the limits.h header to use PTHREAD_STACK_MIN as
the minimum stack size.
As for the deadlock, if the pthread_create failed, the new thread
doesn't exist and doesn't call threadStartedBlock.release(), so the
existing thread deadlocks on threadStartedBlock.block(). Only block
if the thread was started."
I've needed to run a recorded simulation offscreen and save it to a sequence of images, and the ScreenCaptureHandler seemed to be the simplest way to do that, and with this change it's possible.
Another change: I've also added the ability to specify continuous capture of all frames, or a certain number of frames. ScreenCaptureHandler now has a setFramesToCapture(int) method. The argument will be interpreted as:
0 : don't capture
<0 : capture continuously
>0 : capture that number of frames then stop
I also added startCapture() and stopCapture() methods so that user code can start capturing (either continuously or the given number of frames) at a given point in their program. setFramesToCapture() won't start capturing, you have to call startCapture() afterwards. The handler also now has another key to toggle continuous capture (defaults to 'C').
Note that continuous capture will of course only work if the CaptureOperation writes to different files (for example, a WriteToFile with SEQUENTIAL_NUMBER mode) or does something different each time... Otherwise it will just overwrite of course. :-)
I've also taken the chance to refactor the addCallbackToViewer() method a bit too, since finding the right camera is needed in two places now.
I've tested all cases (I think). If you want to try, in osgviewer.cpp and replace the line
// add the screen capture handler
viewer.addEventHandler(new osgViewer::ScreenCaptureHandler);
with
// add the screen capture handler
osgViewer::ScreenCaptureHandler* captureHandler = new
osgViewer::ScreenCaptureHandler(
new osgViewer::ScreenCaptureHandler::WriteToFile(
"screenshot", "jpg",
osgViewer::ScreenCaptureHandler::WriteToFile::SEQUENTIAL_NUMBER),
-1);
viewer.addEventHandler(captureHandler);
captureHandler->startCapture();
And vary the "-1" (put 0, 10, 50) and then use the 'c' and 'C' keys and see how it reacts.
"
DisplaySettings now define COLOR and DEPTH as defaults for implicit buffers. Consequently Camera by default uses the same defaults through USE_DISPLAY_SETTINGS_MASK. However, particular Camera mask can be easily overriden through Camera::setImplicitBufferAttachmentMask method. I hope, that in this way we can have global control over implicit buffer defaults, and we can still retain fine grained control at Camera level.
I have also replaced original unsigned ints used to store masks to signed ints because complier resolves enums as signed integer (I got a number of warnings with unsigned int)."
Most notable the __hpux define stuff. The __hpux__ variant seems to be not
defined which resulted in a compile error at this time. Consequently I have
replaced all occurances of __hpux__ with __hpux. And huge surprise: now osg
plugins are found and loaded correctly ...
The next notable one is the MSVC_IDE fix which makes the nmake Makefiles cmake
generator target behave like the ide one. Showed up because I started to do
scripted builds with nmake instead of devenv...
The rest is the usual bunch of stuff that just happens during normal
coding ..."

Added automatic GLenum mode mappings in osg::PrimitiveSet to provide a fallback for non support glDrawArray/glDrawElement modes.

Added support for s/getGLContextVersion(), s/getGLContextFlags() and s/getGLContextProfileMask() to osg::DisplaySettings.
Added command line and env var support for setting the GLContextVersion, GLContextFlags and GLContextProfileMask to osg::DisplaySettings.
Removed EXT postfix of FrameBufferObject functions, and added support for checking non EXT versions frame buffer object GL functions.
Introduced usage of OSG_GL*_FEATURES to avoid some #if #else #endif code blocks.
Using a submissions from Paul Martz as a guide added perliminary GL3 support to a range of OSG classes
