If I remember right, John Rohlf is the author of KML. He, along with Jim Helman, are the fathers of the modern day Scene Graph (i.e., Performer). Ah, Geek Trivia! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Speed Sent: Monday, January 21, 2008 1:03 PM To: OpenSceneGraph Users Subject: Re: [osg-users] OSG KML I/O He's probably referring to the Google Earth mark-up language: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyhole_Markup_Language http://code.google.com/apis/kml/documentation/ (Why K for "Keyhole"? Well, because that is the product that google bought to make Google earth.) I suppose it could be useful to have an OSG application read these directly but I've always sort of seen it as an interchange format for dealing with Google Earth, ie: you had something else and turned it into KML. Seems to me that the "something else" is what you'd want to bring into OSG. Of course, I know of at least a few places that are actually developing geospatial content in KML. So it happens. <shrug> And is probably off-topic anyway. -Paul Robert Osfield wrote: > On Jan 21, 2008 6:53 PM, Mike Weiblen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> What the current state of KML content i/o for OSG?
