[osg-users] CEGUI
Hi, I tried to run the osgcegui example, and no GUI was rendered. All the GUI creation code was taken from CEGUI example (which works). I didn't get any errors from CEGUI or OSG. I also tried to set the renderGUI function as post callback of the camera with no better results. any ideas? is it something with the Zbuffer? or Z position of the GUI? thanks, Guy. ___ osg-users mailing list osg-users@openscenegraph.net http://openscenegraph.net/mailman/listinfo/osg-users http://www.openscenegraph.org/

I was thinking of using ECEF as my internal coordinate system. Anybody have any hints / suggestions as to something better? When you build an osgdem database with the --geocentric option it builds the database in Earth Center Earth Fixed (ECEF) coordinate system. With a geocentric database the problems you have to deal with are precision and which way is up (for simulator aspect). To solve the precision issue use a MatrixTransform above each tile that places the tile from its local origin (0,0,0 at the center of the tile) to its final position in geocentric space. To know which way is up decorate the database with a osg::CoordinateSystemNode and attach an EllipsoidModel to it describe the shape of the earth. Manipulators like Drive, Flight and TerrainManipulators all use the CoordinateSystemNode to know which way is up and behave accoridingly.

You can still do this with osgViewer::Viewer :

viewer.setSceneData(osgDB::readNodeFile(cow.osg));
viewer.realize();
while(!viewer.done())
{
viewer.getCamera()-setViewMatrix(myViewMatrix);
viewer.frame();
}
Note, no Camera Manipulator is registered, so nobody is setting the
view matrix other than your setViewMatrix call.
I'm also confused about the billboard examples ( and other examples simular
to it). Looks like they never added anytype of Manipulator to the camera.
and I'm wondering how the camera manipulation is being done? Is their a
default manipulator that comes with the osgViewer::Viewer?
viewer.run() used my main of the examples is great short hand for
writing a quick example, but it does hide a bit of what's going under
the hood, run is effectively (psudo code here)
viewer.run() is equivilant to :
viewer.realize();
if (viewer doesn't have a camera manipulator)
{
viewer.addCameraManipulator(new TrackballBall)
}
while(!viewer.done())
{
viewer.frame();
}

Re: [osg-users] CEGUI
Hi Guy, The osgcegui example was my abortive attempt at getting CEGUI to work in a well that integrates well with the OSG.

Some OSG users have got CEGUI to work with the OSG, and there are some suggestions in the osg-users archives about this.

Hi, If you refer to the Creator gallery world model I believe it only works with cg shaders. The osgviewer doesn't support cg shaders out of the box.

Re: [osg-users] is it possible to add new texture layers in run time to an osga ???
Hi David, osgdem has the --layer option which allows you to specify multiple textures and have these built directly into the paged databases. Alternatively you could use a TexGenNode to generate tex coords for you and then decorate the scene with the overlay textures. Another alternative would be to render the roads etc. into a texture and then apply this on to the scene use the osgSim::OverlayNode. Robert.

When you order an OSG book in hardcopy, I'll give you access to the PDF for free. This isn't such a big deal for the Quick Start Guide, but should be a great deal for the reference Manual. Because this is an experiment, to keep the Web programming simple, I can't accept orders from outside the US, or from Alaska, Hawaii, or Colorado. If your delivery address is in one of those regions, you should order from Lulu.com. For more info about OSG books, go to www.osgbooks.com. Also, just a reminder about OSG training to be held in Huntsville, Alabama this September. Register now to receive the discounted price. Tuition goes up for registration after July 9.

Re: [osg-users] ViewerEventHandlers problem with custom GUIEventHandlers
Hi Panagiotis,
The behavior difference you are seeing is down to the osgViewer using
the Chain of Responsibility Design Pattern for passing on events, the
just of it is that viewer passes events to all event handlers
regardless of whether the event has been handled or not. The approach
pushes the responsibility for checking to see if the event has been
handled on to the event handlers themselves. They can check this via
the GUIEventAdapter::getHandled() method. If an event handler returns
true then the Handled bool is automatically set to true.
The problem that you have observed arises when an event handler has
been updated to filter out already handled events, some of the osgGA
event handles like the camera manipulators had been updated, but not
all - the osgGA::StatsManipulator and osgViewer::ViewerEventHandlers
hadn't been updated for 2.0. I have just gone through these event
handlers and added in the appropriate code - mostly checks like:
if (ea.getHandled()) return false;
Added to the *::handle(..) methods.
With this change your code example:
int main(int , char **)
{
osgViewer::Viewer viewer;
osg::ref_ptrKeyboardModel keyboardModel = new KeyboardModel;
viewer.addEventHandler(new KeyboardEventHandler(keyboardModel.get()));
viewer.addEventHandler(new osgViewer::StatsHandler);
viewer.setSceneData( keyboardModel-getScene() );
return viewer.run();
}
Will result in the StasHandler getting events but discarding them as
they have already been handled by the KeyboardEventHandler. If
however, you change the order, then the stats will work and the
keyboard handler will work as the later doesn't check for
getHandled(). In this instance this is what you want, and the new
Chain of Responsibility approach is working as intended giving you the
flexibility to control how events are handled.
Robert.

[osg-users] Making Node::dirtyBound() virtual
Hi Robert -- Would you object strongly to making dirtyBound() a virtual function? In my custom node, I need to catch when the bounding box changes and make some modifications to the scene graph as a result. Currently, I'm overriding computeBounds() to do this. But because computeBounds() is const, I have to cast away const in order to perform non-const operations like modifying scene graph data. It turns out this doesn't work anyway, because thread collisions occur in multithread situations. Dirtying the bounding box seems to be an inherently non-const operation. Yet there doesn't appear to be a way for code to act on that change in a non-const way. Changing the declaration of dirtyBound() to virtual would allow custom Nodes to take non-const action on the bounding box change.

Okay, but because computeBounds() is const, I have to cast away const in order to perform operations on the scene graph within this function. Furthermore, when I do this, I see crashes in multidisplay environments, probably due to a thread collision caused by modifying the scene graph in one thread while another accesses the same part of the scene graph. Taking a look at CullVisitor, it's not clear to me how you ensure that computeBounds() is only called once per frame in multidisplay environments (where multiple cull traversals would be running concurrently). Can you explain how this is handled? -Paul ___ osg-users mailing list osg-users@openscenegraph.net http://openscenegraph.net/mailman/listinfo/osg-users http://www.openscenegraph.org/

[osg-users] PointSprites = small feature culling = ClusterCullingCallback
I'm using osg::PointSprites on an ellipsoid. To overcome terrain intersection problems between the sprites and the ellipsoid I disabled depth testing on the sprites. Problem solved. However, I then have the problem of sprites showing through the ellipsoid when you spin the globe around such that the sprites are on the other side of the globe. So, I decided to use osg::ClusterCullingCallback to solve that problem. Followed the example in osgfadetext but the cluster culling didn't work. After some debugging I discovered that disabling small feature culling was preventing the Cluster culling from working. But, if I don't disable small feature culling the point sprites don't display. What should I do here? BTW, I'm disabling small feature culling via: viewer.getCamera()-setCullingMode(osg::CullSettings::VIEW_FRUSTUM_SIDES_CULLING); ___ osg-users mailing list osg-users@openscenegraph.net http://openscenegraph.net/mailman/listinfo/osg-users http://www.openscenegraph.org/

If you modify this slightly ...

SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${TARGET_DEFAULT_PREFIX}${TARGET_NAME}

Re: [osg-users] CEGUI
Hi, Jeremy: i don't know if this can be of interest to you, but if it can help you... The book DirectX 9 User Interfaces: Design and Implementation is the only reference i have found that explain how to do a GUI with DirectX from ground up. You can avoid the directX things, the book has some (short) comments about the pitfalls to avoid when designing a GUI. The GUI developed in the book seems quite similar than the one that ships with DirectX (coincidence?), but there will not be many issues doing that with OSG. Of course, i have nothing to do with the author or the publisher. This is not 'propaganda', just knowledge interchange. :) I haven't found any other reference about the topic of designing GUIs.

Some OSG users have got CEGUI to work with the OSG, and there are some suggestions in the osg-users archives about this. Personally I was unimpressed with CEGUI, its just not well designed or implemented library, its makes too many assumptions and restrictions on its usage to make it particularly useful beyond single window, single threaded games. I certainly wouldn't recommend it. Robert. On 7/3/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I tried to run the osgcegui example, and no GUI was rendered.

[osg-users] Rendering threads and scene graph updates.
Hi, i'm working with OSG on Windows. I'm designing a Geo viewer that use OSG internally for rendering purposes, and i have some questions about how the modification of the scene graph must be done to be safe with the cull and draw traversals. After reading the Quick Start Guide and the DatabasePager code and looking at the osg mail archive, what i've found so far is that it is possible to modify the scene graph inside an update callback and that it is the recommended approach (viewer seems to treat databasePager as a special case and don't use update callback). I'm right with that or have i misunderstood something? Until now i have been working with a render thread that i start after the window is created. But after reading a comment in the checkevents method of GraphicsWindowWin32 that says it must be called from the main thread and knowing that Win32 don't like much that different threads access the message loop (as checkevents does), i'm thinking about the possibilty of doing the render from the main thread (e.g. using WM_TIMER and calling viewer::frame() , i don't have access to the app message loop). Is this possible? The examples i have seen so far use either a render thread (osgviewerMFC) or a custom message loop (osgViewerGLUT). I'm seeking for the possibility of avoiding to implement a custom Update Callback for doing the updates of the scenegraph, and make the changes directly to the scenegraph. It will free me for implementing the changes queues in the update callback (a solution mentioned in a two years old osg mail message) and will simplify my design greatly. The Quick Start Guide mentioned that this is possible, but also mentioned that this requires modifications to the main rendering loop. What else have to be keep in mind? Thanks in advance, Himar. ___ osg-users mailing list osg-users@openscenegraph.net http://openscenegraph.net/mailman/listinfo/osg-users http://www.openscenegraph.org/

Re: [osg-users] OSG books
Hi Paul, I have the Quick Start Guide and I must say the quality of the book is impressive, you really do get down to using OSG quickly. Though for the simple examples, but it is a start for all new members of OSG. :) It also acts as a mini reference for some of the older members who don't work full time with OSG, the hobbiest I refering too. The only concern I have about the official Reference is that it is for OSG 1.2, and we are sitting at OSG 2.0 which is also a major version change, thus plenty nice new features and some API changes, particularly to the use of SimpleViewer, etc thats helps with better integration with many widget libraries. I believe the new interface will work better with GTKMM and GTK+, as the older interface was a real pain to use. Though I discover ease of use when I have free time at the end of the year.
