[osg-users] Guaranteeing a specific order of node callbacks?

[Robert Osfield]

Hi Christian,

Callbacks are simply called in the order that visitor comes across
them, it's depth first, left right by default for OSG's update
traversal.  There isn't any other controls for order like there is for
the rendering back end.

You can either enforce the ordering when you create your scene graph
or manage the update at a higher level than using update callbacks.

Robert.
