some of the files, the function readInt() would return
a 0 size. While linux will happily continue on,
creating 0 sized arrays, Windows immediately
blows up, with sparks sometimes flying out the
side of the machine!
I added a simple check for zero size in
each of the functions that allocates arrays
based on the size variable, and I thought
I'd pass it along. Now the program will
not die if it encounters an ive file with bad
data."
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."
with a CoordinateSystemNode which reflect the coordinate system of the
database.
Added support for reading and writing CoordianteSystemNode into the .osg
and .ive formats.
