Hi Mike,

I download the file and loaded it, and couldn't work out where the
image came from as you
just provided the .osg, then... it dawned on me what you meant :-)

For those who don't have a clue what we are on this morning, here's an
extra from Mike's
spot_gold_cylinder.osg :

        Texture2D {
          DataVariance STATIC
          file "http://www.kitconet.com/images/live/s_gold.gif";
          ...
        }

Which trigger osgDB to load the curl (or .net if the curl plugin isn't
built) plugin to load the image,
then it just uses this as the texture for the cylinder

So I guess the next step is to write a little osg example that polls
the above an similar files every twenty seconds to
give you a virtual stock market room...

Robert.
