osgWorks

osgWorks is a set of applications and software tools that add capability for OpenSceneGraph (OSG) software developers. The osgWorks library is the result of collaborative work between Paul Martz (Skew Matrix Software LLC), Ames Lab, and ARDEC. It's used as part of the VE-Suite project. osgWorks is open source and is available under the GNU LGPL v2.1 software license for all to use.

Features

Applications

osgwbvv: A bounding volume visualizer to display bounding spheres and boxes.

osgwcomp: A scene graph comparison utility to compare the hierarchical structure of two scene graphs and display them for side-by-side comparison.

osgwnames: Dumps a scene graph to standard output, showing the node names, node class names, and hierarchical structure.

osgwwhich: A data and library file locator that uses the OSG data and library file search paths to locate data files, OSG libraries, and OSG plugins, and display their absolute paths.

Libraries

osgwTools: Includes the following features:

• an AbsoluteModelTransform node to ignore parent model transforms
• GeometryModifier infrastructure for performing operations on osg::Geometry objects, including several GeometryOperation geometry reduction operations
• a RefID string-based reference-counted ID object
• a screen capture utility that writes image files in a separate thread
• utility functions...
• functions to transform osg::BoundingSphere and osg::BoundingBox classes
• functions to create HPR osg::Quat objects
• osg::Geometry-based utility functions to render rudimentary shapes such as planes, boxes, spheres, and arrows.
• functions for node insertion and removal
• visitors...
• FindNamedNode, to look for nodes with specific names
• ParallelVisitor, to compare two scene graphs
• RemoveData, to strip data from a scene graph, leaving only the hierarchical structure
• RemoveLOD, to disable LOD nodes

osgwControls: Includes a 3D slider control to allow interactive manipulation of a stored value.

Plugins

osgdb_osgwTools: Dot OSG file format support for the nodes and objects in the osgwTools library.

osgdb_skeleton: A pseudowriter that runs the RemoveData visitor on the scene graph prior to output.

Tests

The project contains several test programs to ensure correct functionality.
