Hi Jasper, It is possible to integration the OSG with an existing OpenGL context, see the osgviewerSDL and osgviewerGLUT examples use of GraphicsWindowEmbedded to do this.
If the 3rd party app is doing it's own OpenGL work then things get more complicated as you'll need to make sure the OpenGL state isn't carried over from the 3rd party code to the OSG and from the OSG to the 3rd party code. The later is a bit awkward to achieve but possible - others are doing it. Have a read through the archives on the topic for discussion how. Robert. On Wed, Aug 18, 2010 at 9:20 AM, Jesper D.
