Hi Paul, A couple more hints on pseudoloaders:
The .scale pseudoloader also supports a single-argument form (eg cow.osg.5.scale) for uniform scaling. The triple-argument form is only necessary if non-uniform scaling is desired. The .rot and .trans PLs support enclosing their args in parens, useful for non-integer values with contain decimal points that would confuse the tokenizer when looking for dot-delimited file extensions. There are a wide range of other utility PLs at http://osgtoy.sourceforge.net/ eg the globe loader which maps an image on a sphere: earth.jpg.10.globe The comments inside the (usually very simple) pseudoloader source code is pretty good at documenting the arguments.
