[osg-users] How to query calczulated zNear zFar?

[Robert Osfield]

Hi Werner,

You have a complicated enough scheme that just reading a general
description really isn't sufficient to understand what is being down
when etc.  So best I can is provide general suggests.

Would a CullSettings::ClampProjectionMatrixCallback help?  Might
enable you to intercept or set the values and do what you want with
them.  This will be called in Cull traversal at the appropriate time.
I don't recall the details, it's probably well over a decade since I
looked at this code.

Robert.
