hyper keys defined already, but these modifiers were missing in
GUIEventAdapter::ModKeyMask, and the EventQueue ingored them as well.
The attached diff/archive adds the missing parts for Super/Hyper
modifier key support.
I'm aware that this might not be supported on all systems/keyboards
out of the box, but decided to submit it anyway because:
- developers are aware of differences between input devices
(Some mice have scroll wheels, others don't. Some have five or
more buttons, some have only one. Some keyboards don't have
numpads, some have AltGr, some don't etc.)
- even if someone relies on Hyper/Super in distributed software,
this is easy to fix and doesn't create lock-in conditions
- while the names Hyper/Super may only be common on X11, they are
just symbol names and not OS-specific
- even though some systems might not offer these additional modifiers
by default, it's likely that all of them have at least 8 modifier
levels internally, so it should only be a matter of OS configuration
to make them work
- having super/hyper available is useful to offer a user ways
to define local key definitions that are safe from collisions with
predefined "official" key assignments"

key, but it didn't pick up the initial state. So, if NumLock was on for
the OS at startup (LED on), it was still off for OSG. And the first
keypress turned the LED off, and NumLock on for OSG. The attached fix
picks up the state on every FocusIn, just like it was done in the last
commits for CapsLock. The difference is, that the NumLock mask isn't
standardized (e.g. 0x10 for Linux, and 0x80 for AIX), so we have to do
a reverse lookup (::rescanModifierMapping()).
Note that I could not reproduce the problem on my system, but someone
else confirmed it twice on his, and the patch fixed it for him.

1) Full DOS paths are now correctly opened by OpenVRML. A URL containing

2) The last primitive defined in "coordIndex" is now added if the
"coordIndex" is not terminated by -1.
3) Smoothed normals are computed if no normal field is provided.
Currently, there is no support for "creaseAngle", so all edges (even the
ones sharper than the creaseAngle) are smoothed. I might add this in the
future if demand rises.
4) If an IndexedFaceSet contains only triangles or quads then the
primitive type is set to TRIANGLES or QUADS, and the primset becomes
DrawArrays rather than DrawArrayLengths.
Question: I noticed that for DrawArrays you can still provide an index
array. Would the rendering be faster if I'd create DrawElements primsets
rather than DrawArrays? Phrased differently, what is the benefit of
using DrawElements over DrawArrays, as there is clearly not a one-to-one
mapping of these concepts to their OpenGL counterparts?

"texture" paths. This is to drop absolute paths that some
3d editors export (even AC3D itself!). But this also strips
directories of relative paths, which is wrong and contradicts
the ac3d reference implementation. (The reference implementation
doesn't strip anything, though, and so takes the absolute paths
as they are. Definitely not what we want.)
The attached solution checks absolute paths and only strips
those:

(2) /foo/bar.png -> bar.png (as before)

The win32 pbuffer implementation returned an error unless both the
WGL_ARB_pbuffer and the WGL_ARB_render_texture functions were present.
This was too restrictive, as a pbuffer can usefully be created without
render-to-texture, e.g. for use with glReadPixels. The osg 1.2/Producer
pbuffers worked without RTT, and osgUtil::RenderStage has all the code to
handle both RTT and non-RTT pbuffers, doing a read and copy in the
latter case.
With these changes I have successfully tested the osgprerender example
on a graphics card which supports RTT, and one which doesn't. Plus
tested in my own application.
In order to aid diagnostics I have also added more function status
return checks, and associated error messages. I have included the win32
error text in all error messages output. And there were some errors
with multi-threaded handling of "bind to texture" and a temporary window
context which I have corrected.
These is one (pre-existing) problem with multi-threaded use of pbuffers
in osgViewer & osgprerender, which I have not been able to fix. A win32
device context (HDC) can only be destroyed from the thread that created
it. The pbuffers for pre-render cameras are created in
osgUtil::RenderStage::runCameraSetUp, from the draw thread. But
closeImplementation is normally invoked from the destructor in the main
application thread. With the additional error messages I have added,
osgprerender will now output a couple of warnings from
osgViewer::PixelBufferWin32::closeImplementation() at exit, after
running multi-threaded on windows. I think that is a good thing, to
highlight the problem. I looked into fixing it in osgViewer::Renderer &
osgUtil::RenderStage, but it was too involved for me. My own
application requirements are only single-threaded.

When objects are not centered at 0,0,0 coord but in some distant location (for example at surface of earth ellipsoid) shadow texgen suffers from inadequate precision of float matrices. I changed that by premultiplying Texgen matrix (using OSG double matrices) with inverse modelview and applying it later with ModelView identity matrix. This tweak may be appropriate for OverlayNode texgen as well.
I left former version because I suspect that this change will make osgShadow::ShadowMap view dependant. Currently texgen matrix remains the same no matter what View displays it. With my change it wuld be different for each view. This touches the subject of View Dependent Shadow Techniques that J-S asked recently."

remain in pressed state after revealing, even if they are no
longer pressed on the keyboard. This can have bad effects,
especially if the stuck keys are modifier keys. One has to
press and release the stuck keys again to reset the wrong state.
The fix keeps track of all key presses and releases. On FocusOut
and UnmapNotify it releases all keys that are in pressed state,
and on KeymapNotify (following a FocusIn), it sets the currently
pressed keys again. To avoid confusion in the OSG-using application
normal keys are always reported released /before/ and pressed
/after/ modifier keys.
As current key states are returned as char[32] keymap by
XQueryKeymap and XKeymapEvent, this format is also used to
recognize modifier keys and for maintaining the current
internal key state. Functions to set/clear/query bits in
such a keymap are added.
The patch was extensively tested with osgkeyboard and
FlightGear under KDE and fvwm2. It was not tested on a
Xinerama setup or with multiple windows, but as _eventDisplay
is used throughout, there should be no problems. The patch also
makes the following changes:
- removes old and obsolete handling of modifier keys in ::adaptKey().
This wasn't only unused, but also wrong (and for that reason commented
out in revision 7066). The modifier states are actually handled
in ./src/osgGA/EventQueue.cpp (EventQueue::keyPress/keyRelease).
- fixes some spelling"
The modifications I made are very small but they are absolutely usefull to use osgIntrospection with visual studio 7.1 or 8 in debug modes.
This should also solve other minor common problems (converter memory leak, virtual destructor for PropertyInfo, etc...).
I choosed two function names : Reflection::uninitialize() and Type::reset(), this can of course be changed if someone has a better idea...
I made the changes against OSG 2.2.0 public release. I tested the result with VS 7.1, VS 7.1 SP1, VS 8.0 SP1 and AQTime 5.0 on Windows XP SP2... All 4 seem to agree : they detected memory leaks before and don't anymore.
Sorry I haven't take the time to test that on linux but the changes are so small I doubt there could be a problem... I let you check that on your side :-).
I hope this will help making OSG an even more wonderfull library."
Attached is a fixed version of OverlayNode.cpp. I fixed CustomPolytope::cut( osg::Plane ) method. Bug was apparent in such scenario:
Let P1 be some random frustum polytope
Let P2 be the polytope that was created from P1 bounding box (P2 contains P1 entirely)
Then ignoring precision errors: P1.cut( P2 ) == P2.cut( P1 ) == P1. But this condition was not always met. Cut failed when some of the polytope reference points happened to lie exactly on some intersecting planes in both P1 & P2 (plane distance was = 0).
I only use CustomPolytope for my shadowing stuff so I did not test how this affects rest of OverlayNode.cpp.

Also attached is a minor precision improvement for osg::Plane intersect method (double version).

I have also one observation regarding osg::Plane - There are two intersect vertices methods (float and double flavour):
inline int intersect(const std::vector<Vec3>& vertices) const
inline int intersect(const std::vector<Vec3d>& vertices) const
I guess osg::Plane won't compile when someone changes default vec3 typedef to vec3d. Shouldn't the first method be changed to use vec3f explicitly ? Ie:
inline int intersect(const std::vector<Vec3f>& vertices) const"

Also of note, I added the large batch of Findosg*.cmake modules to

For example, if the mode was set to STOP and left that way for 30

64 bit binary compatible OSGA archive reader/writer using mixed
stdio/iostream calls. But during this work I learned that it can be made in
much simpler way.
Attached is result of this new attempt. I hope its appropriate for inclusion
into OSG codebase. It was compiled and tested with latest SVN OSG, Windows
XP 32 bit and Windows Vista business 64 bit. OSG was built using VS 2005
Express SP1 for 32 bit environment and VS 2005 Std for 64 bit.
---
Solution description (there were two problems involved):
---
Problem 1: implicit conversions beetween file positions and 32 bit int. This
could be considered a MS compiler bug because this 32 bit int was
additionally implicitly converted to/from 64 bit. As far as I know compiler
is allowed to make only one implict conversion (but maybe this rule does not
refer to simple types).
Its actually possible to address OSGA files above 4 GiB range using 32 bit
windows iostreams. MS Iostreams in practice offer the same level of
functionality as stdio functions. There are functions fsetpos and fgetpos in
stdio lib which use 64 bit file pointers (fpos_t). These functions are
internally called by seekp( streampos ), seekg( streampos ), tellp(), and
tellg() methods. So its also possible to change and retrieve file postions
using iostream calls. But the problem lies in implicit handling of streampos
type.
streampos type is actually a template class used as seekp, seekg parameter
and returnd from tellp, tellg. Its capable of storing 64 bit file pointers.
But streampos can be also converted to/from simple type streamoff. It has
proper constructor and cast operator. In Win 32 environment streamoff is
defined as long (~32 bit int). So when seekp, and tellp arent used with
exact streampos objects but OSGA_Archive::pos_type complier makes implicit
casts to 32 bit int types loosing important bits of information.
So above problem could be easily handled by making conversion calls
explicit. My code defines 2 functions used to convert back and forth beetwen
64 bit OSGA_Archive::pos_type and std::streampos objects:
OSGA_Archive::pos_type ARCHIVE_POS( const std::streampos & pos );
std::streampos STREAM_POS( OSGA_Archive::pos_type & pos );
Rest of the OSGA implementation code was modified to call these conversions
explicitly with seekp, seekg, tellp, tellg.
---
Problem 2: seekp and seekg have two variants. Only one of these variants is
actually 64 bit proof.
When I solved my first problem and made use of explicit streampos conversion
functions, OSGA archive was able to read my example 11 GiB archive. But
there were still problems with write and append. I found that the reason for
this was pair of seekp( 0, std::ios_base::end ) and tellp() calls. It turned
out that use of seekp, seekg( offset, direction ) function variants was
setting file pos pointer to EOF when file was larger than 4GiB. But I
noticed that one arg seekp, seekg ( streampos ) versions worked correctly.
So the solution was to change OSGA write logic a little, and replace
seekp( offset, direction ) with seekp( absolute_pos ) calls.
I achieved this by modifing IndexBlock write method to record and restore
file pos after IndexBlock was written. This modification has the effect that
put pointer is generally kept at the end of file, so there is no need to
repostion to the end before writing the files. This allowed me to get rid of
those problematic seekp( 0, std::ios_base::end ) calls.
There was one place where I could not easily get rid of seekp( 0,
std::ios_base::end ). It was situation where existing OSGA was opened for
appending. I resolved this by computing file length by finding max position
from index block and file block endings. Then I replaced former seekp( 0,
std::ios_base::end ) with seekp( STREAM_POS( found_file_length ).
---
Description of these changes may sound bit hacky but in practice these were
fairly simple and straightforward modifications. I hope they pass your
review. There is one complex preprocessor condition which I based on few
lines taken from boost positioning.hpp. Boost licence does allow such
reproduction. In case of problems this condition may be easily simplified to
windows only implementation.

creating subclasses of osg::Array that referenced data

1. DAE object no longer held onto by plugin.
2. Filename to URI conversion now handled internally by plugin.
2. User can supply an external DAE object for use by the plugin.
3. User can supply a std:string object for the plugin to return the URI of
the document just processed.
4. User can supply a std::string to receive the unit name information from
the document just read in. (e.g. meters, inches, etc.)
5. User can supply a float to receive the metric conversion factor from the
document just read in.
6. User can supply an enum to receive the up axis orientation information
from the document just read in.
7. Material transparency can be both read and written.
8. User can supply an experimental GoogleMode option on output. The plugin
will try to emulate the way Sketchup specifies transparency (i.e. the
inverse of what it should be!). I am still struggling to get GE to
understand transparency, anyone know what it expects?
9. Rudimentary support for Collada effect parameters (newparam, setparam,
param) on input. Basic nVidia FX Composer dae documents can now be read.

SharedStateManager.
Move the sorting of the dataToCompile queue out of compileGLObjects

Change the SharedStateManager to use maps instead of vectors."
Previously the complete StateSet was cleared, even the non clipping releted
state attributes and modes in this stateset on a call to
setLocalSetateSetModes.
With this change only those modes/attributes are changed that need to be
changed. That is, if a clip plane is removed from the ClipNode, only this
assiciated mode is removed from the state set, instead of throwing away the
whole state set.
In this way we have less surprising results if the state set of a clip node is
used for more state than just the clip state.

- only 'Ns' was read from .mtl file but 'shininess' was used for osg::Material
- 'illum' was read from .mtl file but never used; it is now used as follows
-- illum==0 -> no osg::Material created/attached therefore no lighting
-- illum==1 -> osg::Material specular is set to black
-- illum==2 (default) -> specular read from .mtl file is used

You were right about the CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS option for CMake, so here is a modification allowing to not generate the manifest files for the plugins making them a lot more easy to redistribute.

New features of PolytopeIntersector :

Ugh. Another fix for the cycle problem. It seems that the SDKROOT didn't necessarily solve the problem, but there were some unneeded library dependencies that weren't in my test fork which allowed my test to work, but caused SVN to fail.
I have removed some of the excess libraries and it seems to build without the Q&A fix.

= OpenSceneGraph 2.2 release adds support for advanced displays, soft and parallel split shadow maps and easier builds =
PERTHSHIRE, Scotland - 4th October 2007 - !OpenSceneGraph Professional Services announces the release of !OpenSceneGraph 2.2, the industry's leading open-source scene graph technology, designed to accelerate application development and improve 3D graphics performance. !OpenSceneGraph 2.2 written entirely in Standard C++ and built upon OpenGL, offers developers working in the visual simulation, game development, virtual reality, scientific visualization and modeling markets - a real-time visualization tool which eclipses commercial scene graph toolkits in functionality, stability and performance. !OpenSceneGraph 2.2 runs on all Microsoft Windows platforms, Apple OS/X, GNU/Linux, IRIX, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX and !FreeBSD operating systems.
For details on how to patch VisualStudio6.0 see the above website link.
Note, osgIntrospection, src/osgWrapper plugins and the
osgintrospection example cannot be compiled under VisualStudio plugin.
You will also need to run the fixup-vc6-dsps.pl script to clean up the
project files that won't otherwise compile to do new elements required
for support of Window 64 bit build under VS 7.x and 8.x.
Several of the plugins and examples require external dependancies. Full details on where to obtain
these can be found in doc/dependancies.html.

How to use the Visual Studio projects:
To build the OpenSceneGraph code in Visual Studio, you normally must use the VisualStudio.sln solution file provided. The individual projects won't build as-is, because they depend on each other and only the VisualStudio.sln file provides those dependencies.
To create a program based on an example, probably the easiest way is to do this:
1. Copy the VisualStudio.sln project to a new file in the same directory
2. Copy the project you want to base your new project on to a new directory in the same level of the directory tree
3. Open the new .sln file you copied in step 1
4. Remove unneeded projects from it, but keep the core libraries (osg, osgDB, etc.). Shift-clicking to select a bunch of projects at once makes this easier to do
5. Add the new project to that solution
6. Set the dependencies for your new project. This is most easily done by opening the Solution Properties dialog, going to Project Dependencies, and checking off the libraries your project depends on

Building 64 bit binaries
64 bit OpenSceneGraph and OpenThreads binaries can be built in Visual Studio 8, but several extra steps are required due to limits of the Visual Studio 6 project files:
1. For each of the OpenSceneGraph, and OpenThreads .dsw files, :
a. Open the .dsw or .sln file and convert all projects to VS 8 format.
b. Open the Configuration Manager window under the Build menu, bring up the New Solution Platform window by selecting <New...> in the Active solution platform drop-down menu. Select x64 as the new platform and copy settings from Win32 (you need to have the x64 compiler installed to see the x64 platform option). Ensure the Create new project platforms checkbox is selected. Click OK, then close the Configuration Manager window.
c. Do a "Save All" to save the project files.
2. Visual Studio unfortunately chooses its own Output Directory setting for the x64 configurations in step 1.b., and this must be reset to the Win32 setting.
IF PERL _IS_ INSTALLED (native or Cygwin), do the following:
a. Close all Visual Studio solutions.
b. Open a command shell and cd to the OpenSceneGraph/VisualStudio directory.
c. Run the command "perl reset-64bit-outdirs.pl".
d. Reopen the solutions.
IF PERL _IS NOT_ INSTALLED, do the following to accomplish the same thing manually:
a. In the OpenThreads solution, open the properties window for the OpenThreads project.
i. Select multiple configurations, Debug and Release. Under the General page, overwrite the Output Directory path of the x64 platform with the corresponding Win32 path. For static builds, do the same thing for the Debug Static and Release Static configurations.
b. In the OpenSceneGraph solution:
i. Select all the "Application" and "Example" projects in the Solution Explorer window and repeat step 2.a.i. Note there are no static configurations.
ii. Select all the "Core" projects _except "Core osgIntrospection"_ and repeat step 2.a.i.
iii. Select "Core osgIntrospection" and repeat step 2.a.i. Note there are no static configurations.
iv. Select all the "osgPlugin" projects and repeat step 2.a.i.
v. Select all the "osgWrapper" projects and repeat step 2.a.i. Note there are no static configurations.
c. Do a "Save All" to save the project files.
3. Select the desired x64 configuration, and build away!

Quick Start:
\f1\b0 \
\b0 \
Screencasts of how to install and get going with OSG for Mac OS X can be found here:\
\ls1\ilvl0\cf0 {\listtext \'a5 }OpenThreads now uses Subversion 'externals' to make it look like part of the OSG source distribution.\
{\listtext \'a5 }Producer has been removed from the distribution. osgViewer is supposed to replace it. The Mac OS X backend is currently Carbon based.\
{\listtext \'a5 }GDAL has been removed as it is no longer a dependency.\
{\listtext \'a5 }osgviewerCocoa (previously osgsimpleviewerCocoa in CVS) is an example program demonstrating tight integration between OpenSceneGraph and Cocoa. It demonstrates many of the things you should consider in building a first-class OS X application that uses OSG.\
\b0 \cf0 (See {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "http://www.openscenegraph.org/projects/osg/wiki/Support/PlatformSpecifics/MacOSX10.5"}}{\fldrslt http://www.openscenegraph.org/projects/osg/wiki/Support/PlatformSpecifics/MacOSX10.5}} for up-to-date information.)\
\
\b Broken Binary Compatibility:
\b0 \
Apple has broken binary compatibility in a limited way between 10.4 and 10.5 when using OpenGL and C++. Under 32-bit, the GLenum type was changed from long (in 10.4 and before) to int (in 10.5).\
\
Under 32-bit, sizeof(long) == sizeof(int) == 4-bytes.\
(In 64-bit, sizeof(long) == 8-bytes, sizeof(int) == 4-bytes)\
So in C 32-bit, binary compatibility is preserved.\
\
But under C++, even though both types are 4-bytes under 32-bits, C++ name mangling rules treat int and long as fundamentally different types. Thus binary compatibility is broken if you try linking two pieces of code that use different types for GLenum.\
\
\
This means:\
1) If you have a 10.4 SDK (or before) built OSG framework, you cannot build an application using the 10.5 SDK or you will get strange undefined symbol errors if GLenum is used. This means don't develop against the 10.5 SDK on Leopard.\
\
2) You cannot use a 10.5 SDK built OSG framework to build an application using the 10.4 SDK, otherwise this will also give you undefined symbol errors. This means don't develop with 10.5 built OSG frameworks when using the 10.4u SDK on Leopard or developing on 10.4 itself.\
\
3) If you have a 10.4 SDK built OSG framework and a 10.4 SDK built application that uses it, this does *not* present a binary compatibility problem and you may be able to run on 10.5 (ignoring any different compatibility issues).\
\
4) Similarly to #3, if you have a 10.5 SDK built framework and a 10.5 SDK built application that uses it, this does *not* present a binary compatibility problem and you may be able to run on 10.4 presuming there are no specific 10.5 dependencies. (But it is safer to build against the 10.4 SDK if you plan on deploying to 10.4 and use no 10.5 specific features.)\
\
Basically, this means you can't intermix 10.4 and 10.5 frameworks.\
\
You can slip around this problem if you manage to avoid the use of any code that uses GLenum. And pure C is not affected.\
\
\b \
OSG 10.4 and 10.5 SDKs:\
\b0 Xcode 3.0 introduces formal support for SDKs created by 3rd parties (like us). Since we now have binary incompatible frameworks, developing binaries for both 10.4 and 10.5 on the same system is a pain. Having a separate OSG 10.4 and 10.5 SDK may help minimize that pain.\
\
Stay tuned for the SDKs and instructions.\
\
\
\
\b X11 Link problems:\
\b0 Another common problem developers might experience is:\
Some people have reported a problem similar to this and/or used the solution posted in this Q&A to resolve a problem building the osgdb_freetype plugin. However, I believe this is the wrong solution to this specific problem. In the osgdb_freetype case, the problem was one of two things:\
1) The wrong libfreetype.dylib was being used (wrong SDK)\
2) The libfreetype.dylib was not found (wrong path)\
\
For #1, the Xcode project was linking to /usr/X11R6/lib, but we should have been linking to $(SDKROOT)/usr/X11R6/lib. You would normally experience this problem when compiling against the 10.4u SDK on 10.5.\
\
For #2, the problem was usually experienced by people building against the 10.5 SDK (on 10.5). The problem here is that Leopard has moved from XFree86.org to X.org and the path is now /usr/X11/lib instead of X11R6. Within the SDK, there is no X11R6 path, so the library was not found.\
\
The solution is quite simple and change the link path line to:\
-L$(SDKROOT)/usr/X11/lib -L$(SDKROOT)/usr/X11R6/lib in the Other Linker Flags for the osgdb_freetype plugin.\
\
This is now fixed in the Xcode project in Subversion.\
\
\
\
\b CMake:\
\b0 The CMake/OSG build system is still not quite ready for prime time. CMake has some general Leopard issues and the OS X/CMake community is trying to work through SDK support issues as the SDKs have become a more prominent part of building on OS X correctly. Framework support is still lacking in the CMake/OSG build system, though CMake CVS is gradually adding/fixing this feature to its code base. \
\
\
\b 64-bit:\
\b0 OSG for OS X 64-bit is not ready. There are two major obstacles:\
1) osgViewer\
2) osgdb_qt\
\
The osgViewer backend is written in Carbon and as far as I know, uses some deprecated APIs that are not available in 64-bit. I do not know if this can be easily cleaned up or not. However, I still believe the better long term solution is for a Cocoa based osgViewer backend to be written. However, nothing yet has been written for this as far as I know.\
\
The example, osgviewerCocoa is close to if not already 64-bit clean. However, because the example uses osgViewer::GraphicsWindowEmbedded which needlessly pulls in all the osgViewer Carbon backend dependencies, you will be unable to actually build osgviewerCocoa as 64-bit. But if you are in a hurry to get 64-bit on OS X, this might be where you want to start. Either strip away the Carbon dependencies from osgViewer, or take osgviewerCocoa and transform it into a Cocoa backend for osgViewer.\
\
\
osgdb_qt is a QuickTime based plugin that handles all image handling and movie handling on OS X. However, it is based on the old QuickTime API which has been marked deprecated and will not survive the 64-bit transition. Thus this plugin needs to be replaced.\
\
I have already submitted a new plugin called osgdb_ImageIO to osgSubmissions which attempts to assume all the image handling duties. This plugin is based on Apple's ImageIO framework which is the new low-level entry point to deal with all image types handled by the platform. Thus this plugin should handle a lot more image formats than the old QuickTime plugin (e.g. JPEG2000, RAW, etc) and will get more as Apple adds support their system. It also adds support for C++ stream support which was missing from the QuickTime plugin. ImageIO is available on 10.4 and 10.5.\
\
However, the osgdb_ImageIO plugin does not handle movies unlike the old QuickTime plugin. The current plan is to introduce a second plugin (osgdb_QTKit), which is based on the new QuickTime Kit framework (10.4 and 10.5). This plugin will replace the movie handling capabilities of the old QuickTime plugin. \
\
Once both new plugins are in place and osgViewer is sorted out, we should be able to build a 32-bit/64-bit Universal Binary of OSG for OS X.\
\
Mac OS X 10.3 and earlier users and QuickTime for Windows users will still need to use the old QuickTime plugin.\
\b0 \cf0 {\listtext \'95 }OpenThreads now uses Subversion 'externals' to make it look like part of the OSG source distribution.\
{\listtext \'95 }Producer has been removed from the distribution. osgViewer is supposed to replace it. The Mac OS X backend is currently Carbon based.\
{\listtext \'95 }GDAL has been removed as it is no longer a dependency.\
{\listtext \'95 }osgviewerCocoa (previously osgsimpleviewerCocoa in CVS) is an example program demonstrating tight integration between OpenSceneGraph and Cocoa. It demonstrates many of the things you should consider in building a first-class OS X application that uses OSG.\
\f1\b0 1.2 was originally intended as a bug fix release for 1.1 (going for 1.1.1), but OSG broke ABI again so the number was bumped to 1.2. There are no significant changes to the Xcode projects or significant OS X specific changes.\

\
Since the 1.1 release, we have learned of serious problems (freezing of the window manager) on the (Intel) MacBook Pros using osgText. We believe the problem is with a serious driver bug for ATI in OS X 10.4.7. We believe the bug affects the ATI Radeon X1600. (You can get this string by calling glGetString(GL_RENDERER) when you have a valid OpenGL Context. The string returned to us on affected MacBook Pros is "ATI Radeon X1600 OpenGL Engine".)\
\f2\i \cf0 osgText subloads small glyphs one by one rather than the whole image, so I'd suspect it is this that is broken. There is a path way in osgText::Font for uploading the whole image at once, which original was specifically implement as a work around for an Octane driver bug, but for 1.1 I enabled this pathway to be selectable via an env var to see if OSX users could work around the OSX driver bug.

These projects were primarily developed with gcc 4.0.1 under Tiger 10.4.3 using Xcode 2.2. Starting with gcc 4.0, Apple no longer statically links in the C++ runtime. Apple has made available the g++ 4.0 dynamic runtime for Panther under the 10.3.9 release. To run under Panther, your system must have this update (or you must recompile the binaries for your system).\

With gcc 4.0, serious bugs have been fixed from gcc 3.3 and new features are available to us so we have experimented with more aggressive optimizations. For these binaries we have enabled -O3 optimization and -mtune=G5. We have also enabled autovectorization. We also enabled -fvisibility-inlines-hidden which is expected to shrink the binary sizes, but noticed very little difference. (There may be something wrong.) We have not done the proper benchmarking with these options, so feedback is welcome.\

Many thanks should be given to the people that have helped make these projects possible and for their contributions to make OSG run well on OS X through the multiyear run-up to 1.0. I unfortunately don't have a comprehensive list as many contributions have been submitted directly to OpenSceneGraph, but I wanted to give mention to these specific people I've had the pleasure of working with in trying to make this corner of the universe work.\

Now that osgViewer supports a native Window manager, we have attempted to provide double clickable .app bundles. We cheat a little to keep the download size smaller by symbolically linking the Frameworks, PlugIns, and Resources directories for each .app bundle instead of giving each its own copy. This allows the apps to find their resources when trying to run directly from the .dmg without having to copy anything to your computer. \

There is one known serious bug that appears sometimes. With Xcode 2.0 and 2.1, in some cases when you build OpenThreads/OSG from scratch, when you run the examples, they will crash on load. The workaround seems to be to delete just the OpenThreads framework after everything is built. Then rebuild just the OpenThreads framework. Bug reports have been filed with Apple, but the root cause remains to be a mystery. (We have some guesses, but nothing substantial.) I have not yet seen this issue emerge with Xcode 2.2, so maybe the problem is fixed.\

The osgdb_geo plugin is not big endian safe. The Makefile system does not build it for OS X. We have added it for the Xcode projects, but you probably shouldn't use it unless you're on Intel.\

Do not use the

\f1\fs24 flag unless you know what you're doing. In some cases, Xcode 2.2 seems to enable this by default in the project settings. You should verify your project settings and make sure this is disabled. Among other things, this flag will hide RTTI information causing dynamic_cast<> operations to fail. Since parts of OSG are dependent on RTTI, this option should remain off. The flag
\f4\fs22 -fvisibility-inlines-hidden
\f1\fs24 may be safe to use. (This is actually enabled in our Xcode projects. If there are problems, please let us know.)\

Finally, there may still be issues with Zerolink. In the Project Template, we defer to the default for this option and in current Xcode versions, the default is on. The OSG Xcode projects themselves have explicitly disabled Zerolink. In the worst cases, scenes will not render correctly or the application may crash. The worst thing about this is that the problems are so strange, you may not realize Zerolink is the problem. To see this for yourself (we tried in Xcode 2.2), you might try comparing the osgdelaunay example with and without Zerolink, toggling through all values of 'n'. With Zerolink certain objects do not even appear and it crashes. So you are probably should disable this to be safe. However, for the daring, Zerolink does seem to work for some projects though we do not fully understand the criteria for this. Furthermore, Apple constantly works on improving this feature so maybe one day it will all just work right.\
