[osg-users] Limit rendering a texture up to a given pixel

[Christian Buchner]

A uniform specific to each tile that defines the dimensions for the valid
part of the tile? The shader would get the gl_FragCoord, compare it against
the threshold and return a transparent color for pixels outside the valid
bounds.
