Hi John,

The .osg and .ive formats don't have a documented specification, the
source code implements both the read and the write and is effectively
it's own definition.  As Ulrich mentions both are internal formats not
meant for data interchange with 3rd party tools.

In svn/trunk there is support for scene graph serializers and with a
family of new native file formats that deprecate .ive and .osg file
formats.  These few file formats are the .osgt (text/ascii), .osgb
(binary) and .osgx (xml), and all based are new scheme for serializing
properties of scene graph elements, the new serializers also support
reading/writing of the schema used for serializing.

The new schema isn't yet complete enough to aid writing of 3rd party
reader/writers, but once it matures a bit further it should serve this
requirement quite well - the schema will be our formalized
documentation of the file format.

Robert.
