[osg-users] questions about developing drivers for osg/osgEarth

Hello again,

I have gotten some of the things I want done somewhat working.

I am now having an issue attempting to get a layer to update within a system thread I made.

First off I built all this using the Simple Ocean plugin code as my base line.  I then added a way to get a simple yellow box to show where I wanted programically with osgEarth.  I do have shader code working but what I need help with now is updating my layer ever so often with new data for my shaders to run on.

Below is my simple function that my thread runs,  layer is a valid layer that is displayed named "newlayer".

The code runs and ramps up the alpha channel for a while (sometimes few seconds, sometimes minutes) and starts the ramp again with almost transparent, but eventually I get a read access violation in osg/NodeVisitor.cpp line 107.

Can anyone look and hint to what might be causing this issue?

It is almost as if my code and osg code are conflicting with some pointer somewhere and I am not sure how to mutex my code correctly.  Maybe it is my thread?  I am using a std::thread to run this function on.  Am I updating my layer wrong completely by removing and adding a new one?

Thanks in advance.

Subject: questions about developing drivers for osg/osgEarth

I have a few questions about how to build a driver to do some specific tasks in osgEarth.

Simple example.
Using simple ocean as an example replace the texture piece with geo-spacial image and then build a shader to add effect to the image.
Ie. Arrowed line that changes color in towards the direction a path should be followed start to end.

The shader piece can be figured out by us working with the shader code.

The part I am having issues with is adding an arrow image or geometry polygon of an arrow to the map at the position I need it at to run the shader effect on.

Is this the correct place to aske this sort of question or is there a different mailing list or thread I should use to get help with getting this designed.

Thank you in advance
