[osg-users] Force redraw of PagedLOD nodes

[Robert Osfield]

Hi Simone,

The way I would implement a feature like this would be to use a shader
that computes the the colour per vertex, using a uniform value to tell
the vertex shader whether to use the intensity or the elevation as the
input to the colour.  To change colour you would simply change a
single osg::Uniform that you would attach to the view's master
Camera's StateSet.

This approach doesn't require any modifications to the scene graph and
works with paged and non paged databases. It also allows you to have
multiple views each with their own preference for how the scene should
be rendered.

Robert.
