HI Michale, The ContextID is associated with GraphicsContext's, and its the Viewer's Camera's that hold the GraphicsContext (normally a GraphicsWindowsX11/Win32/Carbon subclass), and each GraphicsContext has the State object, each of which has the ContextID so on can do:
viewer.getCamera()->getGraphicsContext()->getState()->getContextID(); Or if the viewer's master Camera doesn't have a GraphicsContext, instead it delegates the rendering to its slaves then you'll need to iterator through the slave Camera's to get the ContextID. There is a viewer.getContexts(osgViewer::ViewerBase::Contexts&) convinience method to help you get the lists of all the active graphics contexts, so you could easily use this instead of iterating through. And... not once did you need to grapple with the internal implementation of SceneView that is used the hood. But if you really really must grapple then the Camera::getRenderer() will give you the Renderer that is used to do the rendering - and its this osgViewer::Renderer that has the SceneView that does all the internal work.
