Re: [osg-users] What is everyone doing for GUIs?
Is there any GUI toolkit that works with OSG that doesn't require OSG to run single-threaded? Qt, Wx and FLTK examples all do: setThreadingModel(osgViewer::Viewer::SingleThreaded); My datasets are relatively large and I'm only sustaining about 10 fps as it is. Dropping to single threaded drops me down to about 5 to 6 fps.

Re: [osg-users] What is everyone doing for GUIs?
A quick look at some old OSG-Motif code doesn't reveal more than a call to XInitThreads() ... there are no calls to setThreadingModel ... I have some code if you want it. -Charles On Tue, May 19, 2009 at 7:52 AM, Butler, Lee Mr CIV USA USAMC lee.but...@us.army.mil wrote: Is there any GUI toolkit that works with OSG that doesn't require OSG to run single-threaded?

If you want a proper cross platform gui with all the bells and whistles, the three main choices are probably Qt, WxWidgets or Gtk. Qt is probably the most powerful and fully featured, but you have to use that dam MOC thing and the Qt framework. WxWidgets seems to give quite small programs, but it's not very pretty. Gtk is quite nice but maybe an arse to install on windozes, there's dozens of dlls for it. If you want something rendered by Gl, there's Crazi eddies Gui.

Re: [osg-users] What is everyone doing for GUIs?
[quote=Simon Hammett Qt is probably the most powerful and fully featured, but you have to use that dam MOC thing and the Qt framework.[/quote] With the visual studio ad-in using Qt is no more difficult than MFC. Getting the OS version initially built and configured takes a while, but less so than OSG. The various parts of Qt come as DLLs so you can just include the parts you need (as with OSG) WxWidgets seems to give quite small programs, but it's not very pretty. The wx licence allows you to statically link, but you have to rebuild the library to add/remove parts. It uses native widgets but is limited in the widgets it supplies. The quality of some of them is also a little less than Qt -- Read this topic online here: http://forum.openscenegraph.org/viewtopic.php?p=12334#12334 ___ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
