[osg-users] Drawing to Texture2D

OSG does not do 2D drawing to images. You can do your own by getting the 
data pointer from an osg::Image and drawing pixels into that (if you 
feel the need to write your own line, circle, flood-filling etc. 
algorithms :-) ), or you can use an imaging library (ImageMagick, etc.) 
to make the image and then get the data from that library and copy it 
into an osg::Image (or perhaps even use the same pointer if it's a raw 
format). No need to save the image to disk and re-read it with OSG.

Hope this helps,

J-S
