[osg-users] Whether a viewer is required for every osg based application?

[Jannik Heller]

Hi,

osgViewer is what dispatches updates to the scene graph, fires off cull and rendering, manages the camera, and abstracts the platform-specific graphics context creation routines, among other things. You could bypass osgViewer if you implemented these tasks yourself, but I imagine it would be quite tedious. I would suggest to use Viewer even with off-screen applications.

Cheers,
Jannik
