Hi Jeremy,
I'll just echo Robert's comments:
And also: I was officially declared "in remission" about a month ago, so
my short (but interesting!) bout with blood cancer at 29 is over.
Yay. :)
Congrats! That's great news!
As more work goes into osgQt towards OSG3 (and as we get closer to
having full, fist class 2D widgets), I think that osgWidget (in it's
current form) should be removed. It was designed with the very futile
goal of trying to be a 2D UI kit, when it should have been far smaller
and far more generic from the very beginning.
osgQt is far from being ready to do general UIs in the 3D view (as a
HUD). It has serious shortcomings (one of them being the requirement of
Qt, which is a problem for some projects and not others), some things
plain don't work (draggable sub-windows, input fields in some
situations, etc.), and it's slower than doing native drawing like
osgWidget does. Check out the osgQtWidgets example in current svn to see
what I mean.
osgWidget works well for what it does, and I still don't understand what
you mean when you say it should have been smaller and more generic... If
you're redesigning osgWidget to be smaller, perhaps we could find a way
to retrofit the current osgWidget to use your new architecture as a
base, or something like that... Because I think current users will want
to keep using it like they do now (me included).
Anyways, let us know what your plans are and we'll help. :-)
J-S
