The problem is that osgWidget doesn't offer a lot of functionality that one finds in a somewhat more mature toolkit (even CEGUI).
For example: * common GUI widgets are already fully developed (eg progress bar, scroll bar, tables, close button, etc) * GUI elements (windows, buttons, etc) are easily skinnable * XML content specification with graphical layout editor * etc. For us the context/threading issues may not be too hard to swallow, so it seems like a pretty good fit. Anyway, I dont want to start a debate, just throwing in my two cents on why we've decided to go with CEGUI over osgWidget. -Brad -----Original Message----- From: osg-users-boun...@lists.openscenegraph.org [mailto:osg-users-boun...@lists.openscenegraph.org] On Behalf Of Robert Osfield Sent: Sunday, July 12, 2009 10:06 AM To: OpenSceneGraph Users Subject: Re: [osg-users] OSG Texture <-> CEGUI Texture Hi Brad, Could you just use osgWidget instead? I've played with CEGUI in the past and found it's design very poor for doing general purpose graphics application integration - it can't handle multiple graphics context nor multi-threading, I learnt enough about it's short coming in design and implementation to know that it wasn't worth investing more time into, there are far better ways to tackle this type of work.
