[osg-users] Order of event handler evaluation, docs?

[Robert Osfield]

Hi James,

You have complete control of the event order if you want it, you just
need to subclass from
osgViewer:Viewer/CompositeViewer:eventTraversal() and do what you
want, or just doing your own implementation of the frame loop.

The best illustration of what the osgViewer is doing w.r.t event order
is to read the osgViewer::Viewer::eventTraversal() implementation in
src/osgViewer/Viewer.cpp.

Robert.

I’d ideally like to have /some/ global handlers executed before the handlers on nodes are considered, but it seems as if by default the global handlers are all executed after them?
