Bryan, The short answer is yes, vtlib applications can sleep. In fact, it's entirely up to your own event handling, which is in your own app. There are many...
Hi, I finally got around to testing the web plugin. I think it's quite promising. For future development we should have in mind to maybe use web services like...

Hi again, So I actually need to correct what I was asking about (after I was corrected lol) We need an icon, not a 3D model, on the scene, Something like: ...

Bryan, Your code below looks good. The only trouble i see is that your mesh has no texture coordinates, so the texture can't be applied. To fix: << vtMesh...
If you only need to draw a 2D bitmap, then put it under a HUD node (vtHUD). The Enviro code shows how to do this: it uses the HUD for the compass, overview...

... IMHO, for future development we could and should enable network IO in place of file IO; no new protocols or file formats are needed. HTTP should suffice,...
Also, I've been looking at: http://vterrain.org/Doc/import_models.html on importing 3D models. If I could load a 2d image, and store it as a node, that could...

Bryan, The simplest way would be for you to use a simple 3d modeller such as ac3d and make a single rectangular surface and attach your image to it as a ...
Samir, I recommend to start with the VTP Tutorial 1. Once you are comfortable with the process of loading terrain, then try it with your DTED file. As a...
