[osg-users] Support for sampler arrays

[Robert Osfield]

Hi Chris,

You can subclass from osg::StateAttribute and implement your own GL state
calls in the same way as all the core StateAttribute classes implement
their GL state calls.  The osg::Uniform is an exception though as there are
particular rules about when uniforms can be applied - you have to know that
the appropriate glProgram is applied prior to assign the uniforms to them.

osg::State manages this task, applying all osg::StateAttribute then
applying the osg::Uniform.  The add sampler arrays the natural place would
be to modify the core osg::Uniform and simply submit this for inclusion in
the core OSG.
