[osg-users] Converting model to screen coordinates

[Per Rosengren]

I use an IntersectionVisitor with a customized Intersector.
The intersect function of the Intersector is called with the IntersectionVisitor
as argument. The IntersectionVisitor has all the matrices I need:

I call this function from the intersect function:



    /** compute the matrix that takes this Intersector from its
     *  CoordinateFrame into the local MODEL coordinate frame
     *  that geometry in the scene graph will always be in.
     */
void EdgeFinderProjectFind::locateCamera( osgUtil::IntersectionVisitor &iv,
osg::Geometry* geometry )
{
  _modelToWindowMatrix.identity();
  if (iv.getWindowMatrix())
    _modelToWindowMatrix.preMult( *iv.getWindowMatrix() );
  if (iv.getProjectionMatrix())
    _modelToWindowMatrix.preMult( *iv.getProjectionMatrix() );
  if (iv.getViewMatrix())
    _modelToWindowMatrix.preMult( *iv.getViewMatrix() );
  if (iv.getModelMatrix())
    _modelToWindowMatrix.preMult( *iv.getModelMatrix() );
}



Later I use this to get the window coordinates:

pWindow0 = p0 * _modelToWindowMatrix;
