One solution is naturally to create a new class that would inherit the osg::ComputeBoundVisitor, and use that. I don't like that idea as the ComputeBoundVisitor does actually have what I need - it is only hidden in a protected function.
I am therefor suggesting a slight generalization of the ComputeBoundVisitor with the attached patch, which is tested.
The patch has two parts:
we add applyBBox() so that one can use that in a customized traverse-function and add a bbox to the visitor. I considered calling this function expandByBBox(), but I though applyBBox was better.
The MatrixStack is made available to the outside world. That enables a traverse-function to do whatever it wishes.
I do actually only need one of the two, as I can implement what I wish either way, but adding getMatrixStack() will make more generic expansions possible.

From Robert Osfield, changed the name of the new applyBBox(..) method to applyBoundingBox(..) to keep it's naming more consistent with the rest of the OSG.
Added new WindowSystemInterface::setDisplaySettings() method to provide a mechanism for passing settings onto the WindowSystemInterface so it can then set up the system appropriately.
Added assignment of the DisplaySettings to the WindowSystemInterface in Viewer/ComppsiteViewer::realize().
available. But this just checks if the fbo functions can be called.
It doesn't check if the OpenGL renderer supports fbos. For indirect
rendering on linux the client side capability may be different from
the display server, which can lead to mipmapped textures failing to
render. I've added a fbo extension check.

I've also checked the modified files still build ok with other
compilers (Linux gcc, Windows Visual Studio).
osgDB/OutputStream.cpp and osgPlugins/lws/SceneLoader.cpp require
stdlib.h for atoi use.
In osg/Uniform.cpp the compiler complains that base_class is unknown
unless I add a class name qualifier.
Not a build fix, but I spotted a typo in osgUtil/SceneView."
Provided are lua, python and V8 (for javascript) plugins that just open up enough of a link to the respective libs to run a script, there is no scene graph <-> script communication in current implementation.
But for glPrograms, in order to get all osg's uniform management system to work, I had to subclass osg::program::PerContextProgram.
Here is a modified version of this class, which add some "virtual" method to allow easy subclassing."
"The idea of this new OpenGL feature is :
- set RestartIndex = "n"
- draw elements strip
-> when the index is "n", the strip is "stopped" and restarted
It's very usefull for drawing tiles with a single strip and a "restart" at the end of each row.
The idea a an OSG StateAttribute is :
Usually we use to build geometry from code, because software modelers rarely support it (and 3d file formats doesn't support it) :
-RootNode <= "PrimitiveRestartIndex=0" // So now, we know that our restart index is 0 for all drawables under this node
|
- Drawable 1 : triangles => as usual
|
- Drawable 2 : triangles strip => as usual
|
- Drawable 3 : triangles strip + "GL_PRIMITIVE_RESTART" mode = ON => use the restart index
|
- Drawable 4 : triangles strip + "GL_PRIMITIVE_RESTART" mode = ON => use the restart index
|
- Drawable 5 : triangles strip => as usual
With a StateAttribute, it's easy for the developper to say "0 will be my restart index for all this object" and then activate the mode only on some nodes.
The main problem is if you set and restart index value which is not included in the vertex array (for exemple set restart index = 100 but you have only 50 vertex). There is no problem with OpenGL, but some OSG algorithms will try to access the vertex[100] and will segfault.
To solve this, I think there is two ways :
1/ add restart index in osg::PrimitiveSet and use this value in all algorithms. It's a lot of work, maybe dangerous, and it concern only a few situations : developpers who use this extension should be aware of advanced OpenGL (and OSG) data management
2/ use a StateAttribute, and choose a "correct" restart index. In my applications, I always use "0" as a restart index and duplicate the first vertex (vertex[0] = vertex[1]). So there is no difference for OpenGL and all OSG algorithms works properly.
