[osg-users] ViewerBase::frame() method slow after changing the color of a geometry

[Lionel Lagarde]

I don't know about the double frame but the default for geometries 
(drawables in fact) is to use OpenGL display lists (depending on the OSG 
compilation).

OpenGL display lists creation takes time. The dirtyDisplayList method 
forces OSG to re-create the OpenGL display list.


The solution is to force the geometry to use vertex arrays:

geometry->setUseDisplayLists(false);
