Once I found out osgviewer doesn't like --image with an osg file I quit the option. This get me close to apples to apples but not completely. So displaying .jpg, .gif or whatever I use the --image for testing and displaying the .osg for testing I do not use the --image. This works and as helped me move ahead some. > Instead, why not create an .osg file with a simple quad and a texture, > and then try to load that.

Hmm, I'll study that. > Another test could be to try a very simple OSG file (axes.osg from > OpenSceneGraph-Data, for example, has no texture and very simple geometry). Whoa - Whoo hoo - I had tried dumptruck.osg but axes.osg was a real good suggestion. If I run osgviewer in gdb with cow or dumptruck I get the hang but if I run it with axes.osg - it terminates cleanly. Something in the way Cygwin is handling cleanup or closing is hanging the process or as Robert theorized once - maybe something (in Cygwin) is mucking up the handles. More info though so that's another step. > Also, I don't understand why I'm the only one to respond to you in this > thread.

You are not the lone ranger - Robert has offered suggestions and Alberto is one the few others I know that have tried working on this platform and he has worked on this problem some as well. And there have been other that have tried to point me down the right paths. > Anyways, I hope I'm at least helping you go forward a bit... You are helping and I appreciate it. bk _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
