[osg-users] Terrain Center and Size/Extent (TXP, LoD)

[Trajce Nikolov NICK]

Hi John,

1). TerraPage (and TerraVista) uses this SmartMesh for LOD management, and
these are obviouslly set by TerraVista. So this is one way of controling
it. The other way is to set the LOD scale for your camera (if you are using
osgviewer press 'h' onscreen help with some key bindings will appear for
this, but you can set it through code as well)

2). Probably you are using osgviewer (or alike application) where the
initial position is set a bit far from the archive. If you want to center
it I believe you get the bounds of the node representing the trpage archive
and place it at the center. The extent of the trpage archive is set in the
header, so other way is to use the trpage API (part of the txp loader) and
access the header and set the eye accordingly .

Hope this helps. It's been more then 10years since I was trpage engineer .
I thought it is dead by this new CDB from Presagis :-)

Cheers!
Nick
