Wow, very nice!

We're pretty satisfied with just using the world-space distance between 
the two ends of a segment to determine the texture coordinates. It's not 
perfect but sufficient...

That's what we're doing. Did you use OSG for your implementation? Care 
to share some details on how your geometry is being built?

Thanks,
