[osg-users] Idea to implement a kind of 'rubber mode'

[Chris Hanson]

I think some parts were lost in translation. I think the word you want to
use is "eraser" instead of "rubber", though I can see how it could be
mistranslated from another language.

I can think of a way to do this with your current draw order (black line
then green line) by using a shader and a texture holding the background
image.

Otherwise, you'd have to probably change the draw order so that the black
line was drawn later than the green line.


I often recommend users with complex questions "take a step back" and
explain the non-simple-abstract problem. Many times we find people asking a
specific question believing it is the only solution, and finding no good
ways to achieve it, when in fact the same overall goal could easily be
accomplished a different way if we knew what they were really trying to do.

Could you explain more about the real-world problem you're trying to solve,
instead of this simplified abstract summary?

As an example, imagine if someone came to you asking how to safely operate
a flamethrower in their kitchen, and you answered it was impossible. Later
you found out that all they wanted to do was make tea, but had pre-decided
on "flamethrower" as the way to get there, but if they'd just said "I want
to make tea", an electric kettle would have neatly solved the problem.
Don't be the flamethrower tea guy.
