Thanks. I had thought to apply the visitor to the scene, but GetScene() 
didn't have Accept(). With your confirmation that using the scene was 
correct, I found that viewer.getSceneData()->accept( iv ) did exist.

However, calling that line just results in a segfault. The rest of the code 
is the same as before. I'm going to search to see if I'm doing something 
obviously wrong, but in case I got the above line incorrect, I wanted to 
post my failed results here for further comment.
