Do you understand why this is a problem though? I can only provide a guess, and that would be that the Intel OpenGL doesn't handle double vertex data correctly, so you are stumbling across a driver bug. In general OpenGL hardware is based around floating point maths so the drivers normally convert any double data you pass it into floats before passing it to the GPU. Even if the driver does this correctly this conversion process slows performance down so it's best to keep osg::Geometry vertex/texcoord/normal etc. data all in float arrays such as Vec3Array. You can retain precision by translating your data to a local origin prior to conversion to float then place a MatrixTransform above your data to place it in the correct 3D position. The OSG by default uses double for all internal matrices that that when it accumulates the modelvew matrix during the cull traversal double precision is maintain for as long as possible before passing the final modelview matrix to OpenGL. Using this technique the OSG can handle whole earth data without any jitter/precision problems.

Hi Robert,
I found out what the Problem was—it *was* my code :-)
In particular, it looks like mixing doubles and floats is very bad.
Pretty much everything is a float except for the vertex array of a street.
If I change that to float and convert the Points to Vec3 instead of
Vec3d, then everything is good.
Do you understand why this is a problem though?

Hi Robert,
thanks for your reply. I'm kinda new in the OSG/OpenGL field, so I'm
thankful for all the help and advice I can get.
The goal of the project I'm working on is to develop algorithms for
street label positioning on an active route. So I have a street
network, a pointer that moves along a route in the network and a
camera that follows the pointer, and then I have a bunch of labels
that I position and move around. (I think I might have written
something in this mailing list two years ago.)
I never thought that it could be anything other than a mistake of my
own. The problem occurs on the following configurations:
Thinkpad T420 with i5 CPU/Graphics Card (Intel HD3000 I think)
Arch Linux 3.16.1
OSG version 3.2.1
OSG version 3.0.1
G++ version 4.9.1
Intel Video Driver version 2.99.914
Intel DRI Software version 10.2.6
Thinkpad T60 with Radeon Graphics Card
(I only did this quickly, so I don't have all the details)
Arch Linux 3.16.1
OSG version 3.2.1
G++ version 4.9.1
I tried another program that I knew was working two years ago on this
computer, and it has a similar issue (though different) now—the
pointer is just not there. Additionally, the osgText labels are not
showing up either.
The past few days since your response, I also worked on getting it to
compile on Windows 7, with Visual Studio 12. (FYI: I had to add an
#include algorithm to osgText/Glyph.cpp for it to compile, otherwise
it didn't see min/max.) I'll write again after I finish that.
Is there a better way to represent the street network? Should I have a
Group containing a bunch of street lines and then apply color and line
width at that level? Or do I store the street lines all in a single
Geode?
I updated (and simplified) the source code listing to include the
pointer drawing code—perhaps the problem lies there? (I also changed
the street network to contain a bunch of drawables inside a single
Geode. Is it better that way? Or am I going a completely wrong
direction with that?)
Thanks again for your help!

[osg-users] Warped scene with two sets of Geodes
I did post this question on StackOverflow (
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25576762/warped-scene-with-two-sets-of-geodes
), but I assume that this is a more appropriate place for questions.
I have a few objects that I want to combine into a scene graph:
Street inherits from Geode and has a Geometry child drawable made up
of a GL_LINE_STRIP.
Pointer inherits from PositionAttitudeTransform and contains a Geode
which contains two Geometry polygons.
When I add a bunch of Streets to a Group, it looks just fine. When I
add only the Pointer to a Group, it also looks fine. But if I somehow
have them both in the scene, the second one is screwed up. (This does
not happen if I have only two Pointers.) I posted some screenshots on
the StackOverflow site, in case you want to see them. Probably I’m
making some simple mistake—but I can’t see it!

Re: [osg-users] Warped scene with two sets of Geodes
HI Ben,
The osg-users mailing list/forum is the appropriate place for support.
I've read your post, the code you provided and screenshots and don't really
know what to make of it all. I'd guess that others will be similarly
confused but what might be work and what might not be.
I don't understand why you are subclassing from OSG classes for this type
of work, for 3rd parties like ourselves not party to the the code in these
subclasses and without any knowledge of why felt the need to do this
subclassing it really kinda hard to know where you are going with this code.
I couldn't spot any obvious errors in your code, but I sure wouldn't write
a tool to visualize a road network in the way you have - having lots of
separate scene graph objects and state will introduce CPU and GPU overheads
that will prevent getting the best performance for your system.
You don't mention what hardware/GL driver/OS/OSG version you are using.
This is all is important when trying to track down problems. It could be
that you have a buggy OpenGL driver and little to do with your own code.
There isn't much we can say to help at this point as there is just way too
many unknowns about your software, hardware, OS, exactly nature of the
problem etc.
Robert.
