I found very useful to have a control whether osgView::setCameraManipulator does or does not reset camera to home position.
I extended method signature as follows:
void setCameraManipulator(osgGA::MatrixManipulator* manipulator, bool resetPosition = true);
keeping the current usage intact (default parameter), while enabling user to disable the position reset. That can be useful in the situation when manipulator position was already loaded, for example from a file (user specification), or defined any other way, while we do not want to be reset to home position. Other usability is usage of two manipulators in a modeling program (orbiting around the model, walking on the model) and changing between them while we want to preserve the position of a camera in the change. Games may benefit from it as well when we change from user-defined helicopter manipulator to soldier manipulator because the user escaped the helicopter. The camera will change manipulator but the position is expected to be kept in the transition (provided that user makes the state transition between the two manipulators himself).

Moved the handling of DisplaySettings into Traits constructor.
Added support for s/getGLContextVersion(), s/getGLContextFlags() and s/getGLContextProfileMask() to osg::DisplaySettings.
Added command line and env var support for setting the GLContextVersion, GLContextFlags and GLContextProfileMask to osg::DisplaySettings.
"There is error in WoW shader, you can see it by this simple example:
osgviewer cessna.osg --wowvx-42 --clear-color 0,0,0
Clear color may be choosed any with at least one component equals to 0
or 1. In my case I see weird blinking between normal image and image
with depth map at right side on the screen."
set.
The optimization is based on the observation that matrix matrix multiplication
with a dense matrix 4x4 is 4^3 Operations whereas multiplication with a
transform, or scale matrix is only 4^2 operations. Which is a gain of a
*FACTOR*4* for these special cases.
The change implements these special cases, provides a unit test for these
implementation and converts uses of the expensiver dense matrix matrix
routine with the specialized versions.
Depending on the transform nodes in the scenegraph this change gives a
noticable improovement.
For example the osgforest code using the MatrixTransform is about 20% slower
than the same codepath using the PositionAttitudeTransform instead of the
MatrixTransform with this patch applied.
If I remember right, the sse type optimizations did *not* provide a factor 4
improovement. Also these changes are totally independent of any cpu or
instruction set architecture. So I would prefer to have this current kind of
change instead of some hand coded and cpu dependent assembly stuff. If we
need that hand tuned stuff, these can go on top of this changes which must
provide than hand optimized additional variants for the specialized versions
to give a even better result in the end.
An other change included here is a change to rotation matrix from quaterion
code. There is a sqrt call which couold be optimized away. Since we divide in
effect by sqrt(length)*sqrt(length) which is just length ...

avoid threading issues associated with compile running in a parallel with
update/cull on the first frame.
Also added automatic recompile when a new SceneData is applied to a View.
It's implemented in the same way that 3D Spherical Display and Panoramic Spherical Display.
You can test it running:
osgviewer --wowvx-20 cow.osg
osgviewer --wowvx-42 cow.osg
depending on the size of your Philips WOWvx display (20" or 42")
Other arguments you can use to control the 3D effect are:
--wow-content <value>
This value defines the kind of content that can be:
0: No depth
1: Signage
2: Movie
3: CGI
4: Still
--wow-factor <value>
Percentage of the display recommended depth value. Default 64, Range [0-255]
--wow-offset <value>
Amount of range behind the screen. Default 128, Range [0-255]
0: Range is shifted in the direction of the viewer.
128: Range is equally divided in front and behind the screen.
255: Range is shifted away from the viewer.
