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.
handle scenes with multiple views with elements that need coordinating on a per view basis.
Added beginings of new osgText::FadeText class (not functionality yet).
with a CoordinateSystemNode which reflect the coordinate system of the
database.
Added support for reading and writing CoordianteSystemNode into the .osg
and .ive formats.
Fixed crash associated with .osg files which contain empty description fields.
From Sondra Inverson, added support to .ive plugin for osgSim::DOFTransform.
this are replaced by the osg::computeLocalToWorld/WorldToLocal() functions
found in osg/Transform.
Made the ReleaseTextureAndDisplayListsVisitor a public nested class of
osgDB::DatabasePager to allow it to be used in the TXP plugin, and added
usage of this visitor to the TXP plugin to make sure that textures and
display lists are released during the update thread.
PositionAttitudeTransform, removed the equivialnt callbacks once found in these
transform classes.
Changed the NodeCallback class so its derived from osg::Object instead of
osg::Referenced to allow it to be saved out in the .osg format.
Added support for Update and Cull callbacks into the .osg file format.
Added support for AnimationPathCallback into the .osg file format.
Added osg::Matrix/Quat::makeRotate(angle1,axis1,angle2,axis2,angle3,axis3) and
osg::Matrix::rotate(angle1,axis1,angle2,axis2,angle3,axis3) method.
Made osg::Matrix/Quat::makeRotate(heading,pitch,roll) and
osg::Matrix::rotate(heading,pitch,roll) all deprecated API.
Fixed the Quat*Quat & Quat*=Quat multiplication methods so that they multiplied
in the correct order - they were reversed originally due to the Quat code being
based on code example which used the v' = M v ordering, rather than the OSG's
v' = v M ordering.
on osgUtil by implementing a NodeVisitor::VisitorType enum, and associated
g/setVisitorType. This allows callbacks to querry the visitor/traversal
type without doing down cast's to specific visitor subclasses such as
osgUtil::AppVisitor/CullVisitor.
which objects have values that vary over the lifetime of the object (DYNAMIC)
and ones that do not vary (STATIC). Removed the equivalent code in
osg::Transform, StateSet and StateAttribute, as these are now encompassed
by the new DataVariance field.
Removed MatrixMode enum from Matrix, and associated fields/parameters from
osg::Transfrom and osg::NodeVisitor, since MatrixMode was not providing
any useful functionality, but made the interface more complex (MatrixMode
was an experimental API)
Added ReferenceFrame field to osg::Transform which allows users to specify
transforms that are relative to their parents (the default, and previous behavior)
or absolute reference frame, which can be used for HUD's, camera relative
light sources etc etc. Note, the view frustum culling for absolute Transform
are disabled, and all their parents up to the root are also automatically
have view frustum culling disabled. However, once passed an absolute Transform
node culling will return to its default state of on, so you can still cull
underneath an absolute transform, its only the culling above which is disabled.
