Hi again,
I would like to know, if anyone is placing buttons or menus into a 3D
scene. Of course that wasn't the original purpose of osgWidget, but
since there are many nice functionalities like the mouse callbacks, it
seems worth trying instead of implementing some own picking based 3D
GUI. I played around with it, and after some adjustments (RenderBins,
PolygonOffset for label's osgText and background) it looks quite fine,
but especially with menus/submenus (which I took from the osgwidgetmenu
example) I experienced some problems.
Actually I want the widgets/windows to be managed by the WindowManager
so I have all the mouse interaction stuff. Problem is that I don't want
to add them to the WindowManager as child nodes because that would mean
that they would be drawn, but I need them in my regular scene camera,
not the ortho cam of the WindowManager. But there's obviously a strong
connection between the managing and drawing functionality of the
WindowManager.
I just would like to know, if anyone is or would be using 3d widgets at
all and found a "clean" way to do that, because sometimes I still get
strange behaviours e.g. when removing and re-adding windows with
submenus or something like that.
And btw... perhaps some things would be a bit easier making more
functions of the WindowManager virtual, so that we can do some "good
hacks" instead of "bad hacks" if necessary :-)
Best regards,
Simon
