Hi Robert,
Just a small point worth mentioning... The osg::StateSet class does not have
any members of type DescriptioList, at least not in OSG 2.8.3.
Only osg::Node and derived classes have a DescriptionList as far as I can tell.
Hah, a small point but well worth mentioning!
Somehow I confused descriptions and UserData. UserData is in
osg::Object, which both StateSet and Node inherit, and I assumed it was
the same for descriptions.
Well then, sorry for causing such a big discussion over nothing!
But having started this line of thaught don't you think that one should be able
to store descriptions in the state set?
I think there was some discussion about turning UserData into a
container for various types of metadata... Or was that the description
list? :-)
IIRC, this was actually rather ingenious, as it allowed storing many
types of data in a type-safe way, but if there was nothing (as will be
the case most of the time) didn't take any more space than the current
UserData (one pointer).
