Re: [osg-users] Render to texture problem

2008-11-07 Thread Engvall Åsa
I thought that the texture must be in RGBA to be used in a shader. The callback 
was just for debugging, so I didn't think so much about the format. Now I have 
changed to RGBA format in the callback too. I have also set the viewer to 
singlethreaded, using this command: 
viewer.setThreadingModel(osgViewer::Viewer::SingleThreaded);
 
Unfortunately, the texture is still gray.

Hi,

any reason why you have RGBA texture, but RGB in callback?

is your RTT camera the child of anything? I'm just guessing without

Re: [osg-users] Render to texture problem

2008-11-07 Thread Andreas Lindmark
The camera has to be somewhere in the scenegraph under the root.
Something like this:

 Root
 /\
RTTCamera  Node1
 \/
World

Set the uniforms that you currently set at the Root in Node1 instead and
they will not be used when rendering with the RTTCamera.

2008-11-07 Thread Andrea Negri

Hi Robert,

I use XCode 2.4.1 with projects generated using CMake 2.6 (patch 2).
I didn't compile in release mode, I'll give a try. I haven't tested any 
previous version, generally I build under Windows and I took the last 
version from the Osg website.


On the mailing list I read of people using 2.6 under Mac system, I'll 
check for this version too. Thanks

Hi Andrea,

I'm not a OSX expert, but for those that are you don't provide quite
enough info to know what might be up.  I presume using doing an XCode
build, but you don't mentioned this explicitly.

Did the XCode projects come from the manually maintained ones or CMake
generated ones?

Does the release build compile fine?

Have you tested previous version of the OSG in this configuration?

Re: [osg-users] Explanation for OSGDEMS --levels

2008-11-07 Thread Robert Osfield
Hi Mark,

--levels controls which LOD levels the source data contributes too.
You'd typically use this for datasets where inserting high res data
such as aerial photography into a low res background such as nasa blue
marble.

Re: [osg-users] Render to texture problem

2008-11-07 Thread Engvall Åsa
Thank you J P and Andreas! Now it works.

It isn't obvious to me why the RTT camera must be under the viewer. I just 
thought of the viewer as a camera which looks at the scene. Is the viewer more 
like something that collects the pictures from all cameras and make them 
visible to the user?  

Trying to learn more...

On my Linux laptop the errors start appearing at around 220 cameras. On
another Linux machine we can get about 10 more. On Windows we've been able
to test up to 3000 (the apps starts up too slowly if we add more).

Does anyone have any ideas about why and where the cameras are creating X

[osg-users] what kind of path should a referenced texture be written out with

2008-11-07 Thread brettwiesner

Hi,

If an IVE file is written out with the noTexturesInIVEFile option, it 
references textures using an absolute path. Is this correct?


I wondered what will happen when the application is run on a different 
machine with a different directory structure. So I changed the directory 
name where the model lives (which would make the absolute path to 
textures fail) but it loaded the textures just fine. Does OSG strip the 
path and look in the directory of the IVE file first?


Thanks,

Re: [osg-users] Need explanation about a strange behaviour with RenderBin

2008-11-07 Thread Jean-Sébastien Guay

Hi Sukender,

However, the first problem still exists and *exists on others configs* (!): changing from OPAQUE_BIN to DEFAULT_BIN removes a strange behaviour. 


You mentioned earlier in the thread that your objects did not have a 
color array. This is exactly what would happen when that's the case, 
because the color array from some other drawables will bleed into any 
other drawable which does not have a color array. And the colors will 
change depending on what is culled in the current frame, which is why 
the color of your objects seem to change like that at seemingly random 
moments.


So just give your objects a color array of size 1, white color, and 
BIND_OVERALL. Even if your objects use materials for their colors, they 
need a color array.


Hope this helps,

J-S

I didn't write this bit of code so I'd have to look up the code to see
what processing it does to answer this question... off the top of my
head I'd say that it probably is what the author intended, but it's
something that might be done as a relative path by default with an
option for absolute.

 I wondered what will happen when the application is run on a different

The OSG has a search scheme where if the file isn't first found the
list of file search paths are checked, with the original path being
stripped away.

Re: [osg-users] Many RTT cameras, strange out of memory errors on Linux

2008-11-07 Thread Art Tevs
Hi J.P.,

Thats a really strange behaviour. Could it be that you ran into driver issues. 
I mean maybe linux gpu drivers doesn't work well with so much fbo's hanging 
around.

osgPPU doesn't use cameras. It require a camera attachment only to get the 
output (RTT) texture out of the camera. However in the current version even 
that is not required, because you can just provide the pipeline with any 
texture by UnitTexture class. Hence if you ahve a texture or many textures, you 
can use osgPPU to run the computations on it.

Best regards,
art

 
 
 Art (if you are around), does osgPPU use osg::Camera? Maybe
 we can move to osgPPU if not.

I agree with Peter, arbitrarily turning off peoples warnings isn't good
practice.
Of course it's the sort of thing people can waste hours arguing about, but
some
of the those warnings are useful if not important:

eg 4996  // 'x': was declared deprecated

If somebody is going to make the effort of deprecating stuff, people should
know about it.

Still there's an easy solution, include the osg headers in your precompiled
header and
surround them with push/pop... Saves mucking around with osgs config.

The OSG generally doesn't disable warnings, warning disabling is only
done on VS as it's had a history of producing lots of warnings on
correct code.

It's a number of years since I've used Windows.  I do occassionally up
the warning levels on the OSG via's our Cmake's options for this, this
can help you spot some useful mistakes, but it also flags lots of
warnings that mislead more than they inform so you have to enable them
with an eye to what the warnings really mean - I do occassionally see
fixes to warnings that while well meaning actually break code.

If it's possible to get VS to disable warnings via compiler options
rather than in source #pragma then this would be the best solution,
it's what we have under gcc.

Re: [osg-users] pragma warnings disabled in headers

  I agree with Peter, arbitrarily turning off peoples warnings isn't good

 The OSG generally doesn't disable warnings, warning disabling is only
 done on VS as it's had a history of producing lots of warnings on
 correct code.

 It's a number of years since I've used Windows.  I do occassionally up
 the warning levels on the OSG via's our Cmake's options for this, this
 can help you spot some useful mistakes, but it also flags lots of
 warnings that mislead more than they inform so you have to enable them
 with an eye to what the warnings really mean - I do occassionally see
 fixes to warnings that while well meaning actually break code.

 If it's possible to get VS to disable warnings via compiler options
 rather than in source #pragma then this would be the best solution,
 it's what we have under gcc.


It is possible to disable via the command line.
I'll have a look into modifying the cmake stuff,
I've got a couple of things to submit as well, so
I'll post to submissions once I'm done.

Hello,

I am trying to compile the example that uses bullet + OSG, it on the page 
http://www.openscenegraph.org/projects/osg/wiki/Support/Tutorials 
but I am using version 2.6 of OSG and osgProducer isn't used and some 
methods aren't suported, I don't know how to convert to version 2.6 of OSG, can 
someone help me?

[osg-users] pragma warnings disabled in headers

2008-11-07 Thread Peter Wraae Marino
Hi Users (Robert),

I noticed that the include file export
has the following

#if defined(_MSC_VER)
#pragma warning( disable : 4244 )
#pragma warning( disable : 4251 )
#pragma warning( disable : 4267 )
#pragma warning( disable : 4275 )
#pragma warning( disable : 4290 )
#pragma warning( disable : 4786 )
#pragma warning( disable : 4305 )
#pragma warning( disable : 4996 )
#endif

there is no push/pop for the warning in the header file which will make
these warnings disabled in my own code too. I would like to catch this
warnings in my own code and I shouldn't be forced to enabling them.

the only reason I see for having them grouped here in the header is
a convience method so osg doesn't have to disable them all places
that gives these warnings? is this correct? or is there a better reason?

Re: [osg-users] Build error on MAc OSX 10.4 and OSG 2.7.4

2008-11-07 Thread Robert Osfield
Hi Andrea,

I'm not a OSX expert, but for those that are you don't provide quite
enough info to know what might be up.  I presume using doing an XCode
build, but you don't mentioned this explicitly.

Did the XCode projects come from the manually maintained ones or CMake
generated ones?

Does the release build compile fine?

Have you tested previous version of the OSG in this configuration?

Re: [osg-users] osgPPU vs RTT

2008-11-07 Thread Art Tevs
Hi Patrick.

I am not familar with MPV, however let my try to help you ;)

To let the ppu pipeline be applied for the complete scene, you have to provide 
it with a texture containing your scene as input. If you use the standard way, 
scene-osgPPU::Processor-osgPPU::Unit..., and attach a camera which views on 
your scene to the processor, then the camera output (which should be an RTT) 
will be provided into the pipeline. 

How is MPV handling scene rendering? Does it use osg's camera or does it render 
directly to some texture without camera intervention? If the second is true, 
then you can use UnitTexture as a root unit of your pipeline to provide your 
rendering texture into the pipeline.

Best regards,
Art

 Hi, 
 I am trying to get osgPPU to work with the MPV project (a
 CIGI compliant IG)...  I am having a little bit of a hard
 time figuring out how to get the two to talk to each other. 
 As MPV is very modular and based on a plugin stucture, what
 I have to work with (so far) is the root node of the scene. 
 The examples all have their own viewer that are used by PPU
 but I would like to stay away from that and just
 insert the pipeline to affect the intire scene (the
 displaying of the scene is handled by an other plugin inside
 MPV).
 
 Anybody have an idea of how could I attach a PPU pipeline
 to the scene? 
 
 My other option is to not use osgPPU and start doing my own
 RTT, a little like Åsa Engvall is intending to do...

 Hi again Robert,

 I confirm that the strange behavior still exist while compiling against the

I don't have any further suggests beyond my earlier suggestion that
some vertex data such as normals, texcoord or colour arrays aren't
assigned to geometries that they should be.  Write you model out to
.osg and have a look through them.  If you have lighting on then
you'll need a normal array, if you are use default osg::Material
you'll need at a colour array with at least one overall colour, if you
are doing texturing then you'll need texture coords.

Re: [osg-users] infinite block with CullThreadPerCameraDrawThreadPerContext

2008-11-07 Thread Robert Osfield
Hi Csaba,

I have finally cleared through my inbox to looking closely at this
issue and the suggested bug fix.  I believe your suggested change is
safe in normal execution for CullThreadPerCameraDrawThreadPerContext
and DrawThreadPerContext, as the the _startRenderingBarrier barrier
being joined will be holding back the graphics threads, and calling
the reset of the block before joing this barrier will only release the
graphics threads to join this barrier - they can't go one to next
frame till the main thread joins the barrier.

WIth your patch applied all the OSG example still run fine even when I
set OSG_THREADING to
CullThreadPerCameraDrawThreadPerContext, but then these run OK before
anyway... so it's no 100% confirmation of a fix, but it's also close
as I can get without ever having reproduced the hang myself.  Such is
the way with threading bugs...

My thanks for your perseverance on this.  The fix is now checked into
svn and will be part of 2.7.5 dev release.  I also fixed the type of
ThreadSafeQueue as well.

Cheers,
Robert.

 I suspect the particular problem you are seeing is not directly driver

 Hi Robert,

 Huh, took me two days, but I think I have traced this to a race condition.
 Apparently the _endDynamicDrawBlock was already reached by a graphics
 thread before the viewer got a chance to reset it.
 So then that draw thread was released (and subsequently blocked on the
 sceneview queue) and the viewer has gone to infinite wait on the
 _endDynamicDrawBlock later.
 This simpe patch (that doesn't even hint at how difficult it is to
 trace such bugs) seems to fix the issue here:

Re: [osg-users] FLT Writer Duplicate Node Names?

2008-11-07 Thread Paul Martz
The exporter dumps the Node name to the FLT record name, just as the
importer does the inverse operation. I don't believe there is any code to
check for and avoid duplicate node names.
 
I'd think it would be up to the application to specify unique Node names, as
the exporter has no other way to know what text should be written to the FLT
record name. I can see how it might be useful to have a I don't care what
you name it, just make sure it's unique mode. Currently, this doesn't
exist. You are welcome to add it.

Hello all.
 
Does the FLT writer create duplicate node names for nodes with multiple
transforms as parents? We're having trouble sharing a single model inside of
multiple transforms scattered about. Some older OpenFlight software we are
interfacing to does not like this. Any thoughts guys?

  views. All views share parts of their scene graphs. Within these
  common part some nodes have event handlers which use the action
  adapter argument to the event handler to determinate which view
  received the event. Here is the problem,
  osgViewer::CompositeViewer::eventTraversal sets the action
  adapter field in the EventVisitor always to the last view which
  received an event, instead of using the view which actually
  received the event, so determination of the correct view does not
  work. I looked at the code a bit, and moved the code for setting
  the action adapter to a IMO better place

Re: [osg-users] Loose texture in ive after display the node

2008-11-07 Thread Robert Osfield
Hi Linoel,

If you use unRefImageDataAfterApply then the image is discarded as
soon as the image data to download to OpenGL, which helps reduce
memory consumption significantly so is great for real-time sims.
However, if you discard the image data then you can't later use to it
write out to disk.   If you want to write out data you can't use this
feature.

Robert.

[osg-users] Many RTT cameras, strange out of memory errors on Linux

2008-11-07 Thread J.P. Delport

Hi all,

a colleague of mine is trying to implement an image processing algorithm 
that requires many RTT cameras (+-150).


His algorithm runs on his Windows machine, but fails under Linux (I'm 
quite sad about it :) with some of the following errors:


--8--

Got an X11ErrorHandling call display=0x80a8c80 event=0xbf991100
BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)

Got an X11ErrorHandling call display=0x80a8c80 event=0xbf991160
BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)

Warning: detected OpenGL error 'out of memory' after RenderBin::draw(,)
RenderStage::drawInner(,) FBO status= 0x8cd5

--8--

We've narrowed the problem down to just camera creation and frame 
rendering. Texture sizes do not seem to influence the error. I've made a 
small test application (attached) that creates the errors.


On my Linux laptop the errors start appearing at around 220 cameras. On 
another Linux machine we can get about 10 more. On Windows we've been 
able to test up to 3000 (the apps starts up too slowly if we add more).


Does anyone have any ideas about why and where the cameras are creating 
X resources?


Art (if you are around), does osgPPU use osg::Camera? Maybe we can move 
to osgPPU if not.


Any pointers to help us debug are welcome.

regards
jp

[osg-users] Teaching an intro to graphics course

2008-11-07 Thread rpingry
Hello All,

I am going to be teaching my first semester as a part-time adjunct professor
at BYU-Idaho.  I am really EXCITED!  We will be teaching an intro. to
graphics course that has not been taught before at this school.  Our focus
will be on juniors and seniors wanting to get out in the industry and do
something.

Our thought is to take a direction slightly different from the traditional
graphics course that works students through writing their own low level
graphics operations through writing their own phong shader and rudimentary
ray-tracer.  We know we need to teach the fundamentals with vector and
matrix math, etc. (a linear algebra class is already set as a
pre-requisite), but our thought was that we could focus on OpenGL and teach
how these concepts are important even while working on this relatively high
level API.

Once we have the fundamentals down and an idea of how OpenGL works, I wanted
to introduce the students to OSG and how a scene graph helps.  Another big
goal is to teach them how to participate in an Open Source community.
Ultimately I would like to have the students work on final projects that
they might be able to submit to the cause.  There are SOOO many great things
they could learn from this effort.  I hope we are not trying to shove too
much into a 3 credit hour class, but I am excited to see how it goes.

So, we have a few ideas about the things I think we should cover, but I
would love to get some feedback from this great community about things that
you would teach in this kind of course.  I know I want to introduce them to
the coding standards and the submission guidelines you have on the website.
Are there other things we should consider on that front?  (should we
pre-screen the submissions before we send them off to you?).  What kinds of
projects would you recommend the students might be able to work on?  The LWO
and LWS readers are near and dear to my heart, so I was going to have them
work on features there, but I am certainly open to suggestions.

Thanks,
-- Rick

For me Geometry handling and generators.

I've spent part of today writing a generalised extrusion function but I'd be
highly
surprised if this hasn't been done 10,000 times already.

I couldn't find such a function in osg.

If it is there, then maybe you could get your students to help with
the documentation in the code and on the website. ;)

Also a high level CSG library would be fantastic.
I'm doing CAD stuff and it would be so much faster if I could just specify
things like 'intersect a cylinder with this box'

This might be relatively straight forward, if the CSG library generates
meshes to feed to:

 professor at BYU-Idaho.  I am really EXCITED!  We will be teaching an intro.
 to graphics course that has not been taught before at this school.  Our
 focus will be on juniors and seniors wanting to get out in the industry and
 do something.

 Our thought is to take a direction slightly different from the traditional
 graphics course that works students through writing their own low level
 graphics operations through writing their own phong shader and rudimentary
 ray-tracer.  We know we need to teach the fundamentals with vector and
 matrix math, etc. (a linear algebra class is already set as a
 pre-requisite), but our thought was that we could focus on OpenGL and teach
 how these concepts are important even while working on this relatively high
 level API.

 Once we have the fundamentals down and an idea of how OpenGL works, I
 wanted to introduce the students to OSG and how a scene graph helps.
 Another big goal is to teach them how to participate in an Open Source
 community.  Ultimately I would like to have the students work on final
 projects that they might be able to submit to the cause.  There are SOOO
 many great things they could learn from this effort.  I hope we are not
 trying to shove too much into a 3 credit hour class, but I am excited to see
 how it goes.

 So, we have a few ideas about the things I think we should cover, but I
 would love to get some feedback from this great community about things that
 you would teach in this kind of course.  I know I want to introduce them to
 the coding standards and the submission guidelines you have on the website.
 Are there other things we should consider on that front?  (should we
 pre-screen the submissions before we send them off to you?).  What kinds of
 projects would you recommend the students might be able to work on?  The LWO
 and LWS readers are near and dear to my heart, so I was going to have them
 work on features there, but I am certainly open to suggestions.

[osg-users] Mailman just kicked off 180+ members

2008-11-07 Thread Robert Osfield
Hi All,

I just got notification from the mailman server that 180+ members have
un-subscribed in just one minute.  Clearly this is the server deciding
to do stuff all by itself.  We've seen this suspect behaviour before
and in the past I've logged a support call to Dreamhost to reinstate.
In the past Dreamhost have claimed that this is just mailman cleaning
out no longer valid addresses, but I would expect such a process to
happen incrementally because nearly 10% of the community wouldn't
suddenly have invalid accounts.  I have configured mailman to be
lenient towards accounts that are bouncing messages, and over the last
six/year months I haven't seen any of these mass un-subscribes.

I am no server nor Mailman expert so I would like feedback from those
who might know a little more about this stuff than I.  If it is just
invalid accounts being kicked off then fine, it'll save the server
from dealing with all the bounces, but if it's not, and think it's
likely it's not then we have users dropping off the list that wish to
remain subscribed which is bad news.

If you've been affected by this (i.e. you've had to just resubscribe)
or know one who's had this problem could you send notifcation of this
problem into the list/me.  I can then try and work out some pattern
and start holding Dreamhosts toes the fire to sort it out.. yet again.

Robert.

Re: [osg-users] Teaching an intro to graphics course

2008-11-07 Thread Paul Martz
Hi Rick -- Congrats, this sounds like a great undertaking.
 
I have somewhat similar plans you might be interested in. My intent is to
set up an internship program with CU Boulder and take in two interns
starting in January. While I will expect real work out of them (to be open
sourced, either as an OSG contribution or a standalone project), I also
intend to teach them 3D graphics. Like you, I'll focus on using the
higher-level API, and only teach the low-level stuff as a means to
understanding the end.
 
Like you, I'm also afraid that this will be like drinking from a fire hose
-- way too much material for a semester-long internship. Hopefully, if the
interns do well through the January-April semester, I can convince them to
stay on over the summer and really put to use what they've learned for solid
code production.
 
Between the curriculum Bob Kuehne and I have developed for out OSG courses,
and the material I intend to create for this internship program, I hope to
finally have enough material to create the long-awaited OSG Programming
Guide book.
 
On the subject of final projects suitable for a semester course...
 * A set of replacements for the ShapeDrawables that use Geometry as their
base class. The benefit would be that code could easily access and modify
the vertices, they could be exported to FLT, etc.
 * A new polygon decimator that can remove boundary vertices (a limitation
of the existing osgUtil::Simplifier).
 * I've always thought it would be useful to write an export osgPlugin that
dumps out an HTML document per node, with the document displaying info about
that node and containing links to parent/children/siblings. This would be a
great analysis tool for any OSG developer.
 * Finally, there are always several new OpenGL extensions that could be
implemented in OSG... How about a Drawable that supports ARB_draw_instanced,
for example?
 
Let's keep in touch as our two programs progress.

[osg-users] Tagging triangles in the BSP

2008-11-07 Thread Chen, Andrew
Hi guys,

I hear that the OSG now supports BSP tree capability.  I was wondering if this 
included functionality for tagging metadata onto the individual triangles in 
the BSP tree, or even onto the individual triangles in a Geode.  If so, what is 
the method?  If not, where would be a good place for us to attach such 
functionality?

 -- Rick

Err, I don't think so.

I only did a really quick look (read: google search) to see if there
was a suitable library
for my particular needs that would feed OSG, but drew a blank.

Taking the output of GTS and feeding that into OSG is probably trivial,
but I think writing the mesh generators that input to GTS in a nice way,
with good LOD support and decent documentation would be a fair amount of work.

I'm working on a CAD related library for work purposes which has an end
of year deadline, so I can't afford to get bogged down with an immature project.

For my needs I'm just going to write the small sub set of generators
(e.g. cylinder, box, polyline/contour extruder) I need that output
directly into OSG even though
I'm just going to be duplicating stuff that's almost certainly been
done many times before.

From a style point of few, I'd like to see a CSG library that emulates boost,
more than OSG. OSG needs to support a more restricted compiler environment than
boost aims for; as such it has to avoid the special template tricks
that boost makes
extensive use of.

Mind you a proper boost style template library is probably far beyond
most students.

From your other email:
 Like I mentioned, I would really like to start off with OpenGL and then show 
 how OSG helps.

Thinking back on my computing related education I think if I wanted to teach
computer graphics myself I would do it the other way round to you.

I would start off by playing TF2 for half an hour with them and
then firing up the source:sdk  and Hammer and showing them the level
design and the
model editors.

Then go back from that to show how OSG can make those things
happen and then tag on a bit of the lower level OpenGL stuff right at the end.

For the really bright students it doesn't matter which way round you do it,
but for the less interested boring them to death with low level details isn't
going to help them. :)

Good luck with the course.

Re: [osg-users] Teaching an intro to graphics course

2008-11-07 Thread Jean-Sébastien Guay

Hi Rick,

We are looking for text book kinds of materials.  Do you have 
recommendations in that regard, perhaps something you and Bob have 
already written?  Like I mentioned, I would really like to start off 
with OpenGL and then show how OSG helps.


Hehe, you do know that Paul wrote OpenGL Distilled, don't you? Without a 
doubt, one of the best OpenGL books around. Along with the Red and 
Orange books, every OpenGL developer should have it. For a course, I 
would say you only need that one, and let the really interested students 
get the others if they want to continue down that path.


For a more general CG reference I would highly recommend Real-Time 
Rendering (now at 3rd edition) by Tomas Akenine-Möller, Eric Haines and 
Naty Hoffman. I've said it before on this list, this book is a 
must-have. Its breadth is astonishing (it covers almost any CG topic 
short of the really really advanced stuff) and when you need to go more 
in-depth on a given subject, it has a ton of references to point you in 
the right direction. (side note: on their site 
http://www.realtimerendering.com/ there are PowerPoint slides for a 
course, you could use that for inspiration if you want)


Not sure you can tell all your students to buy two textbooks for a 
class, but those are the two I would suggest: OpenGL Distilled and 
Real-Time Rendering. Perhaps you can pair the students and get each pair 
to get the two books (one per student) so they can benefit from both 
without buying both.


Anyways, good luck with the class. I agree with Simon: get them hooked 
with some nice visual results (games like TF2, Crysis, Mass Effect, etc. 
and perhaps some demos - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demoscene) and 
then when they're really interested in the pretty pictures you can start 
teaching them how it's done.


One really important part is showing them early what the difference is 
between a pre-rendered animation and real-time stuff. That way they can 
appreciate the amount of work that goes into making things look that 
good even though it's real-time, and how you need to be ingenious to 
develop tricks and cheats in order to make it look like you're doing 
things that should be impossible to do in real-time. IMHO, that's the 
best part of what we do.

[osg-users] osgCairo and osgPango on Windows : some progress

2008-11-07 Thread Jean-Sébastien Guay

Hi all, Hi Jeremy,

As I mentioned a little while ago, I stopped trying to get osgCairo and 
osgPango working on Windows because of time constraints (it was just for 
a personal project, so it didn't have much priority)... Well I've gone 
back to it tonight, and have some progress to report.


First of all, there were some things missing for it to compile as a DLL 
on Windows, first and foremost an Export header where the correct symbol 
 for _dllexport and _dllimport was defined depending on whether you're 
compiling or using the DLL respectively. I added that, so now the libs 
(both osgCairo and osgPango) compile correctly as DLLs.


Along the way I also added a few things I consider important to the 
CMake config, like the d suffix for side-by-side debug and release 
builds, and fields in osgPango's config to specify where to find 
osgCairo's includes and libs.


I had to add a few libraries to get things to link, like osgDB for 
osgCairo and cairo, gobject and glib for osgPango (it's looking for 
_g_free, _g_object_ref, etc for some reason).


I also had to make a few fixes to files that seem to me like they 
wouldn't compile without the fixes, even on Linux... Which seems weird. 
I updated earlier tonight from the googlecode SVN for the respective 
projects, but perhaps there's some code in flux.


Also, the osgpangoanimation example looks for osgAnimation (which isn't 
in OSG yet, so there should be a CMake option to compile that example or 
not and fields to specify where osgAnimation is) and the 
osgpangoguiviewer example seems to use methods and data members in 
osgWidget which don't exist (or is it that they're on the osgWidget 
branch but not in the main OSG SVN yet?).


Note that at this point I'm just getting things to compile. I haven't 
actually run anything yet. Status report would read as follows:


osgCairo:
  * lib compiles100%
  * all examples compile100%

osgPango:
  * lib compiles100%
  * 3/5 examples compile 60%

I'll send all my changes tomorrow (I'm too tired to package that all up 
right now - it's past Midnight, and I've got swimming classes with my 
youngest very early tomorrow morning... :-) ). Jeremy, I seem to 
remember you prefer SVN diffs, contrary to OSG's standard policy, is 
that right? I'll send the changes in whatever format you prefer tomorrow.


I'll also test some executions tomorrow, can you please give me a few 
command lines that would be good tests? I've seen some data in the SVN 
working copy, but I don't know how to use it.


Thanks,

J-S

Hi Chen,

The OSG core seems not to support BSP tree at the moment. I have just
created an open source project named osgModeling (
http://code.google.com/p/osgmodeling/), to support NURBS and kinds of
modeling methods, and the BSP tree of individual geometries (to help do
boolean operations). It's still immature and has a long way to go. Advices
and criticism are always appreciated.

I'm working on the subdivision of polygons at present. If you have any
requirements or sharable codes, I'm very glad to discuss about it.
