Hello,

Has anyone bought the OSG Reference Guide? I wanted to know if you thought
it was better than the reference guide that you download from the OSG
website. I thinking about buying it, but I wanna make sure it is complete.
By that I mean, does it really explain what each function does? 


The description for the OSG Reference Manual states pretty clearly that it
covers osg, osgUtil, and osgDB, and is created directly from the source code
using Doxygen files. So, it is incomplete at this time.
 
Additional books in the series will cover other OSG modules, and future
versions of these books will contain more complete descriptions of
functions. Buying the current book will provide funding to help ensure that
future documentation efforts proceed forward.
 
I know this probably sounds like I'm saying, "the book stinks now, but if
you don't buy it, it won't get any better" :-) In actuality, the current
Reference Manual has many benefits over what you can obtain with standard
Doxygen files, including TOC, index, introduction, overview of changes from
v1.2 to v2.0, and improved formatting for print publication. So, I do think
it's worth the purchase price.
