[osg-users] OSG-GLSL triangle adjacency

Can you elaborate on this?

Usually you need to set the program-parameter for output: 
GL_GEOMETRY_INPUT_TYPE and simply pass you geometry.

So when using triangles for instance, you need to pass 3 additional 
vertices per triangle (the neighboring ones). You can get the 
appropriate order from the openGL spec or various examples.
I'd start with a minimal example with a fixed vertex set to see what 
needs to be set in the state and program.


The osggeometryshader example might help here to get started.

Cheers
Sebastian
