Hi Robert, Thanks for the thorough response. It looks like I'm really going to have to weigh all of the options. A top priority for me (and for most everyone I would suppose) is speed. So, whichever option provides the best rendering performance will get considerable thought. Thus, the options that allow for threading optimization would appear best suited. But, the reason that I need to put OSG in an existing rendering window is that I also render a considerable amount of OpenGL objects. So, I will have to weigh that as well.
Anyway, thanks again. I've already started redesigning my architecture to best suit OSG v.2.0 so I can analyze the various options. But, this could take a while. ;-) chuck > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:osg-users- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Osfield > Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2007 5:34 AM > To: osg users > Subject: Re: [osg-users] Problems converting from SceneView to osgViewer > > Hi Charles, > > You have a range of windowing options with osgViewer, and you also > still have SceneView as a fallback as its still exists and works as > before. > > The windowing options with osgViewer are: > > Use GraphicsWindowEmbedded to embed a viewer in an existing window, see > the > osgviewerFLTK, osgviewerQT, osgviewerSDL, osgviewerGLUT examples.
