[osg-users] osg::Drawable vs osg::Geometry

[Julien Valentin]

Hi
If you can fit in osg::Geometry semantic your data and just want to override drawimplementation, guidelines prescribe to setup a DrawCallback.
using osg::Geometry have also the advantage for your data to be interpreted for various task in osg (computebound,primitivefunctors, osgutil visitors..)
If you really need to subclass, prefer Drawable over Geometry if you don't want osg can interpret your Drawable as a Geometry (which is sometime the case..)

Cheers
