multi-threaded paging, where the Pager manages threads of reading local
and http files via seperate threads. This makes it possible to smoothly
browse large databases where parts of the data are locally cached while
others are on a remote server. Previously with this type of dataset
the pager would stall all paging while http requests were being served,
even when parts of the models are still loadable virtue of being in the
local cache.
Also as part of the refactoring the DatabaseRequest are now stored in the
ProxyNode/PagedLOD nodes to facilitate quite updating in the cull traversal,
with the new code avoiding mutex locks and searches. Previous on big
databases the overhead involved in make database requests could accumulate
to a point where it'd cause the cull traversal to break frame. The overhead
now is negligable.
Finally OSG_FILE_CACHE support has been moved from the curl plugin into
the DatabasePager. Eventually this functionality will be moved out into
osgDB for more general usage.
ReaderWriter::ReadResult now has a FILE_REQUEST enum.
ReaderWriter::Options now has a s/getAsynchronousFileReadHint() parameter methods.
libcurl based plugin now detects enabing of the AsynchronousFileReadHint, but
as yet does not handle async requests - handling everything syncronously.
DatabasePager now by default will enable AsynchronousFileReadHint for http
based file requests
avoid threading issues associated with compile running in a parallel with
update/cull on the first frame.
Also added automatic recompile when a new SceneData is applied to a View.
get an excess Tab key report when switching back to an OSG
application (usually FlightGear :-). Although KDE has consumed
the Tab, it's sometimes still in the XKeymapEvent's key_vector,
and followed by a Tab KeyRelease event.
Avoid this artifact by
- asking for a "fresh" keymap (via XQueryKeymap()), rather than
using the unreliable(?) XKeymapEvent's key_vector, and by
- flushing all key events on focus-in (to avoid the KeyRelease)
After Super-press, Tab-press, Super-release, Tab-release (note
the wrong release order!) I still get an extra Tab event. But
this is not surprising and not exactly wrong either. Also it's
hard to avoid, as we can't see what happened to the keyboard
before we regained focus.

It's implemented in the same way that 3D Spherical Display and Panoramic Spherical Display.
You can test it running:
osgviewer --wowvx-20 cow.osg
osgviewer --wowvx-42 cow.osg
depending on the size of your Philips WOWvx display (20" or 42")
Other arguments you can use to control the 3D effect are:
--wow-content <value>
This value defines the kind of content that can be:
0: No depth
1: Signage
2: Movie
3: CGI
4: Still
--wow-factor <value>
Percentage of the display recommended depth value. Default 64, Range [0-255]
--wow-offset <value>
Amount of range behind the screen. Default 128, Range [0-255]
0: Range is shifted in the direction of the viewer.
128: Range is equally divided in front and behind the screen.
255: Range is shifted away from the viewer.

From Robert Osfield, refactored the FrameBufferObejcts::_drawBuffers set up so that its done

hyper keys defined already, but these modifiers were missing in
GUIEventAdapter::ModKeyMask, and the EventQueue ingored them as well.
The attached diff/archive adds the missing parts for Super/Hyper
modifier key support.
I'm aware that this might not be supported on all systems/keyboards
out of the box, but decided to submit it anyway because:
- developers are aware of differences between input devices
(Some mice have scroll wheels, others don't. Some have five or
more buttons, some have only one. Some keyboards don't have
numpads, some have AltGr, some don't etc.)
- even if someone relies on Hyper/Super in distributed software,
this is easy to fix and doesn't create lock-in conditions
- while the names Hyper/Super may only be common on X11, they are
just symbol names and not OS-specific
- even though some systems might not offer these additional modifiers
by default, it's likely that all of them have at least 8 modifier
levels internally, so it should only be a matter of OS configuration
to make them work
- having super/hyper available is useful to offer a user ways
to define local key definitions that are safe from collisions with
predefined "official" key assignments"
Introduced code in BoundgingSphere, BoundingBox, ProxyNode and LOD to utilise the above settings.
Added Matrix::value_type, Plane::value_type, BoundingSphere::value_type and BoundingBox::value_type command line
options that report where the types of floats or doubles.
This change has been done to make it easier for OpenSceneGraph users to check out the svn via https
without any conflicts introduced with a http externals.
as not expiring subgraphs quick enough to enable reasonable load balancing.
New version isn't perfect and will need further work, but does at least reduce
the memory footprint by as much as half on test paths on big databases.
The rewritten method no longer uses the the MaximumNumOfRemovedChildPagedLODs
and MinimumNumOfInactivePagedLODs variables so these and associated methods
for accessing them have been removed.
- /** Set the maximum number of PagedLOD child to remove per frame */
- void setMaximumNumOfRemovedChildPagedLODs(unsigned int number) { _maximumNumOfRemovedChildPagedLODs = number; }
-
- /** Get the maximum number of PagedLOD child to remove per frame */
- unsigned int getMaximumNumOfRemovedChildPagedLODs() const { return _maximumNumOfRemovedChildPagedLODs; }
-
- /** Set the minimum number of inactive PagedLOD child to keep */
- void setMinimumNumOfInactivePagedLODs(unsigned int number) { _minimumNumOfInactivePagedLODs = number; }
-
- /** Get the minimum number of inactive PagedLOD child to keep */
- unsigned int getMinimumNumOfInactivePagedLODs() const { return _minimumNumOfInactivePagedLODs; }
key, but it didn't pick up the initial state. So, if NumLock was on for
the OS at startup (LED on), it was still off for OSG. And the first
keypress turned the LED off, and NumLock on for OSG. The attached fix
picks up the state on every FocusIn, just like it was done in the last
commits for CapsLock. The difference is, that the NumLock mask isn't
standardized (e.g. 0x10 for Linux, and 0x80 for AIX), so we have to do
a reverse lookup (::rescanModifierMapping()).
Note that I could not reproduce the problem on my system, but someone
else confirmed it twice on his, and the patch fixed it for him.

It sets osgGA's keymask when restoring keys on FocusIn, according

the only source for X11's current capslock state that avoids

osgViewer::StatsHandler and other handlers which allow you to change the
key(s) you would press to get them to do something. Pretty simple change
but useful in our context and possibly in others too."
The win32 pbuffer implementation returned an error unless both the
WGL_ARB_pbuffer and the WGL_ARB_render_texture functions were present.
This was too restrictive, as a pbuffer can usefully be created without
render-to-texture, e.g. for use with glReadPixels. The osg 1.2/Producer
pbuffers worked without RTT, and osgUtil::RenderStage has all the code to
handle both RTT and non-RTT pbuffers, doing a read and copy in the
latter case.
With these changes I have successfully tested the osgprerender example
on a graphics card which supports RTT, and one which doesn't. Plus
tested in my own application.
In order to aid diagnostics I have also added more function status
return checks, and associated error messages. I have included the win32
error text in all error messages output. And there were some errors
with multi-threaded handling of "bind to texture" and a temporary window
context which I have corrected.
These is one (pre-existing) problem with multi-threaded use of pbuffers
in osgViewer & osgprerender, which I have not been able to fix. A win32
device context (HDC) can only be destroyed from the thread that created
it. The pbuffers for pre-render cameras are created in
osgUtil::RenderStage::runCameraSetUp, from the draw thread. But
closeImplementation is normally invoked from the destructor in the main
application thread. With the additional error messages I have added,
osgprerender will now output a couple of warnings from
osgViewer::PixelBufferWin32::closeImplementation() at exit, after
running multi-threaded on windows. I think that is a good thing, to
highlight the problem. I looked into fixing it in osgViewer::Renderer &
osgUtil::RenderStage, but it was too involved for me. My own
application requirements are only single-threaded.
Unrelated fix - an uninitialised variable in
osg::GraphicsThread::FlushDeletedGLObjectsOperation().

remain in pressed state after revealing, even if they are no
longer pressed on the keyboard. This can have bad effects,
especially if the stuck keys are modifier keys. One has to
press and release the stuck keys again to reset the wrong state.
The fix keeps track of all key presses and releases. On FocusOut
and UnmapNotify it releases all keys that are in pressed state,
and on KeymapNotify (following a FocusIn), it sets the currently
pressed keys again. To avoid confusion in the OSG-using application
normal keys are always reported released /before/ and pressed
/after/ modifier keys.
As current key states are returned as char[32] keymap by
XQueryKeymap and XKeymapEvent, this format is also used to
recognize modifier keys and for maintaining the current
internal key state. Functions to set/clear/query bits in
such a keymap are added.
The patch was extensively tested with osgkeyboard and
FlightGear under KDE and fvwm2. It was not tested on a
Xinerama setup or with multiple windows, but as _eventDisplay
is used throughout, there should be no problems. The patch also
makes the following changes:
- removes old and obsolete handling of modifier keys in ::adaptKey().
This wasn't only unused, but also wrong (and for that reason commented
out in revision 7066). The modifier states are actually handled
in ./src/osgGA/EventQueue.cpp (EventQueue::keyPress/keyRelease).
- fixes some spelling"
The modifications I made are very small but they are absolutely usefull to use osgIntrospection with visual studio 7.1 or 8 in debug modes.
This should also solve other minor common problems (converter memory leak, virtual destructor for PropertyInfo, etc...).
I choosed two function names : Reflection::uninitialize() and Type::reset(), this can of course be changed if someone has a better idea...
I made the changes against OSG 2.2.0 public release. I tested the result with VS 7.1, VS 7.1 SP1, VS 8.0 SP1 and AQTime 5.0 on Windows XP SP2... All 4 seem to agree : they detected memory leaks before and don't anymore.
Sorry I haven't take the time to test that on linux but the changes are so small I doubt there could be a problem... I let you check that on your side :-).
I hope this will help making OSG an even more wonderfull library."
Attached is a fixed version of OverlayNode.cpp. I fixed CustomPolytope::cut( osg::Plane ) method. Bug was apparent in such scenario:
Let P1 be some random frustum polytope
Let P2 be the polytope that was created from P1 bounding box (P2 contains P1 entirely)
Then ignoring precision errors: P1.cut( P2 ) == P2.cut( P1 ) == P1. But this condition was not always met. Cut failed when some of the polytope reference points happened to lie exactly on some intersecting planes in both P1 & P2 (plane distance was = 0).
I only use CustomPolytope for my shadowing stuff so I did not test how this affects rest of OverlayNode.cpp.

Also attached is a minor precision improvement for osg::Plane intersect method (double version).
----3----
I have also one observation regarding osg::Plane - There are two intersect vertices methods (float and double flavour):
inline int intersect(const std::vector<Vec3>& vertices) const
inline int intersect(const std::vector<Vec3d>& vertices) const
I guess osg::Plane won't compile when someone changes default vec3 typedef to vec3d. Shouldn't the first method be changed to use vec3f explicitly ? Ie:
inline int intersect(const std::vector<Vec3f>& vertices) const"
pbuffer functions or exactly ask for the extensions we need to call the
apropriate glx extension functions for and around pbuffers extensions.
The glx 1.3 version of this functios are prefered. If this is not pressent we
are looking for the glx extensions and check for them.
Prevously we just used some mix of the glx 1.3 functions or the extension
functions without making sure that this extension is present.

Changes from Robert Osfield, changed std::cout to osg::notify(osg::INFO)
creating subclasses of osg::Array that referenced data

those along with a simple example of how to do this."
