[osg-users] Camera resize vs setViewport

[Robert Osfield]

Hi Ravi,

The resize is primarily for responding to window resize events where
you need to adjust the viewport and projection matrix to provide
sensible on screen behaviour.

The setViewport() method just sets the viewport, it doesn't try to do
anything with any other paramters such as the projection matrix.

Robert.

Each View has a master & slave (HUD) camera, which are set up in a grid format on the GraphicsContext. I initialize each master/slave combo using setViewport() but I can't use Camera::resize() since I can't pass it the x/y coordinates.
