Hi Ted, A shallow copy will share as much as possible of the data below the object you are calling clone on. Only a deep copy will force the data itself to be copied.
As a general note, you want to avoid duplicating data as much as possible, so share as much as possible. In you case it might not be necessary to clone anything and share the whole scene graph between views. You can use a combination of NodeMask and Camera CullMask (see osg::CullSetting from which osg::Camera is derived), to enable each view to just see a portion of the scene. Robert.
