[osg-users] [3rdparty] ImGui integration

[Riccardo Corsi]

Hi Florian,

I have a working implementation with non-FFP, which I cannot disclose,
but I can give you some pointers:
- I suggest to go for the "osg version" that you mention, using native osg
geometries, not to have conflict with GL state and rendering in all osg
threading schemes
- you can either
1) create and destroy geometries
2) reuse them (updating vertex arrays and primitives).
In both method, make sure to manipulate the geometries only when it's safe,
as in some threading models update and draw will overlap.
For instance take a look at the FrameSwitch node mentioned in these threads:

HTH,
Riccardo
