[osg-users] switching between multiple sub-scenes, with different manipulators

[Robert Osfield]

Hi Roozbeh,

It should be possible to add and remove View's from a CompositeViewer,
the methods for doing this are protected so that switch off threading
before doing any operation - this should at least work when using a
standard osgViewer based application.  However, I can't say anything
about what you might be doing w.r.t threading on the Qt side as it has
caused various issues w.r.t threading over the years.

The alternative route would be to add both view's to the
CompositeViewer at the same time and then just switch each view on/off
by toggling the view's master Camera's NodeMask between 0 and
0xffffffff.

Robert.
