Hi Kim, RenderStage/RenderBin/StageGraph/RenderLeaf are a collection of classes used to manage the OSG's rendering backend, controlling both the draw order and state inheritance. The cull traversal reads items like StateSet::RenderBinDetails and in scene graph osg::Camera's as guide of how to set up the RenderState/RenderBin graph.
You can via cull callbacks create your own RenderStages/RenderBin and place these in the viewer's active RenderStage, but in general its easier just to use osg::Camera and StateSet::RenderBinDetails to control this part of the rendering backend. Back in the 1.0 days one couldn't do this so flexible so one would be forced into manually creating RenderStage/Bins on each frame, but it was much more awkward and code hungry then the more scene graph centric means.
