Indices made it into osg::Geometry to help with backwards
compatibility, at the time (four years ago now) I was very hesitant to
sully a clean and efficient osg::Geometry, but I did it, and have
regretted ever since - its confused many users over the years, and
complicated lots of osg::Geometry code and made maintainance a real
pain. Going forward my plan is to move all the indices code out of
osg::Geometry into a osg::GeometryWithExtraIndices. The later may also
move out of the core OSG into one of the NodeKits. This change isn't
imminent, probably post OpenSceneGraph-1.3. so not likely to happen
this year.
Robert, I know you really like long, descriptive names, but might I
suggest osg::GeometryIndices or even osg::GeometryWithIndices instead of
the longer but superfluous osg::GeometryWithExtraIndices.
