I think I have solved the issue. It turns out that if I simply set a render bin index on all my nodes that contain an osgText, things work as expected. Surprisingly I don't need to set the osg::StateSet::OVERRIDE_RENDERBIN_DETAILS.
I would assume this is normal behavior. I think my main error was to assume that osg preserves the order of nodes when depth testing is switched off. At the moment I have a unique z-value/render bin index on all of my nodes. It's a bit inelegant because I need to do reassign this z value to all my nodes whenever I add or remove nodes. I think I will try to assign this z value only within each geode. I think this is possible because render bins are nested. Not sure yet how this will work then with my ray intersection--how I can determine the order my widgets are hit by the ray ... anyhow i will try to report back if I have a good solution for making this a bit more elegant. Thanks for the help, Thanks for the hint that I might be missing a plugin for writing out text drawables to the osg file, /stefan ------------------------ stefan hechenberger http://linear.nortd.com ------------------ Read this topic online here: http://forum.openscenegraph.org/viewtopic.php?p=19077#19077 _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
