[osg-users] osg::Switch node can't free memory

[Robert Osfield]

Hi John,

The osg::Switch doesn't delete subgraphs when you toggle children
on/off, it simply disables the traversal of the "off" children.  A
switch is for switching between one or more children where the change
is not permanent, i.e. children may be switch on/off through the
lifetime of the application.

You can't hide your model and free memory associated with it withought
removing it from the scene graph completely.  Group::removeChild() is
the method you want to use.
