.dds texture files from internally-embedded textures during IVE writes."
From Robert Osfield, fixed a bug in the above submission, and changed the way that the filename of the file is passed into DataOutputStream to avoid issues with the .ive's plugins ability to read from istreams.
Therefore I have changed all the occurances of atof by asciiToFloat or
asciiToDouble.
I believe that it is safe to do so at least for all the plugins.
Included here are also asciiToFloat conversion of environment variables. One
might argue that these should be locale dependent. But IMO these should be
set and interpreted by osg independent of the current locale.

First Submission email from Gustav:
"This submission adds a --cache option to osgconv and osgviewer that enables setObjectCacheHint(osgDB::Options::CACHE_ALL); It greatly reduces memory usage when a .osg file has lots of external references with ProxyNode:s that points to the same file.
Options are also added to the osg plugin. The code was already mostly implemented but there was no way to change the options.
includeExternalReferences
writeExternalReferenceFiles
A counter is added to keep track if an external file has already been written down to avoid writing the same file over and over again. If it has already been written once then it is not written again.
The counter is added to the Output class in osgDB.
"
Second Submission email from Gustav:
"This is a continuation to my previous submission.
I noticed that the same problem that I fixed in ProxyNode.cpp for the osg plugin (external files being written over and over again) also existed in the ive plugin. I attached a submission where the ive plugin remembers which external files that have already been written and do not write them again."
Changes to the above done by Robert Osfield,
changed command line parameter to --enable-object-cache
changed set/get methods in osgDB::Output and ive/DataOutputStream.cpp to be s/getExternalFileWritten(const std::string&)
cleaned up set up of osgDB::Options.
they are written to disk, either inline or as an external file. Added support for
this in the .ive plugin. Default of WriteHint is NO_PREFERNCE, in which case it's
up to the reader/writer to decide.
does not process I/O for osg::Light. Now I have fixed it as follows:
2. In DataInputStream.cpp, I add support code in DataInputStream::readStateAttribute
for osg::Light.
3. In DataOutputStream.cpp, I add support code in DataOutputStream::writeStateAttribute
for osg::Light.

"1. Location: <OSG_SOURCE_ROOT>\src\osgPlugins\osg\Fog.cpp
Reason: ".osg" writter plugins output incorrected string for osg::Fog's Mode.
How to Fix:
Line 138 in Fog.cpp: case(Fog::LINEAR): return "NERVER";
Change to: case(Fog::LINEAR): return "LINEAR";
2. Location: <OSG_SOURCE_ROOT>\src\osgPlugins\ive\
Reason: ".ive" writter plugins missing to process "osg::Fog".
How to Fix:
(1). Line 86 in ReadWrite.h:
Add: #define IVEFOG 0x00001133
(2). In CMakeLists.txt
"SET(TARGET_SRC" section Add: Fog.cpp
"SET(TARGET_H" section Add: Fog.h
(3). In DataInputStream.cpp
Line 54,Add: #include "Fog.h"
Line 1185,Add: else if(attributeID == IVEFOG){
attribute = new osg::Fog();
((ive::Fog*)(attribute))->read(this);
}
(4). In DataOutputStream.cpp
Line 57,Add: #include "Fog.h"
Line 832,Add: // This is a Fog
else if(dynamic_cast<const osg::Fog*>(attribute)){
((ive::Fog*)(attribute))->write(this);
}
(5). Add newly created ive::Fog Object in Fog.h and Fog.cpp.

Performance tests on big models did not indicate any performance penalty in using doubles over floats,
so the move to doubles should mainly impact precision improvements for whole earth databases.
Also made improvements to osgUtil::PlaneIntersector and osgSim::ElevationSlice classes
supports compressing the image data. The option to compress the data
is "compressImageData". Currently it uses the jpeg plugin to write the
image. Maybe we could add an option that allows the user to specify
which image format to use. The jpeg writer supports specifying the
quality of the jpeg, so you could use the following command line to
convert the skydome.osg model to IVE using 50% jpeg quality:
osgconv -O "compressImageData JPEG_QUALITY 50" skydome.osg skydome.ive"
of saving image files inside the IVE file. Currently, only the raw
image data is saved into the file. If your model uses jpg images as
textures then this will cause your file size to increase.
I've added an option that will embed the original image file into the
IVE file. The IVE file will then attempt to read the image from
memory. Since most image loaders support reading from memory, this
shouldn't be a problem. To use this new feature the user must specify
the option "includeImageFileInIVEFile" when converting to IVE.
I tested this out on the "skydome.osg" model that comes with OSG.
Using the old method, the IVE file size would be 785 KB, with the new
method it is only 42 KB.
Also, I've added the support for TextureRectangle's to the IVE reader/writer."
