When using osgviewer, you specify a .osg file to view and it displays it on the screen. Is it possible to then edit this scene graph live? As in, is it possible to add a node to the scene graph and then have the viewer automatically show this addition?
It is possible to use OpenSceneGraph so that to edit scene graphs live, but you have to do it programmatically. You would have to design your own structure of a scene graph using principles of OOP. Then you can save your scene graphs using your own serializer, later read them from file and edit as you wish. For this, I recommend checking OSG numerous tutorials and books.
If your question is simply about whether you can edit sample .osg files live, then it might not be as straightforward since you need to know the structure of each scene in advance. Assuming that, as a user, you know the structure, then you can definitely introduce some changes (or tie the changes to certain keyboard events), and observe them live.
Use OSGEdit to edit it live. It loads OSG file and it provides options to edit scenegraphs and their properties

Im looking to make a system in which a user can create simple shapes and text on the web using SVG. I'd then like to be able to save whatever they've done to a database so they can come back and edit further, and/or be able to export what they've created from the database into illustrator.
Is there one particular library or approach that would make doing this feasible?
This may send you in the right direction SVG-Edit project.
If you just need a good svg framework to write your own, svg.js has always been good to me.
Good luck.
I see that asciidoctor.org itself has a navigation (top) bar. I'm guessing that the website was written using asciidoctor source files. Either way, how do I add a navigation bar using asciidoctor?
Update
This is possibly the wrong question to ask. Perhaps the right way to go is to use awestruct, Middleman, or Jekyll. Advice/suggestions are welcome.
Yes, the source is asciidoctor, but the site is using awestruct for the structure around the content. If you're looking at doing the same kind of thing, we recommend using some other site generation tool for the structure around the content.
Of course if you really want to do this in asciidoctor, you could. You'd need to create your own theme and craft the header that way, but it isn't really recommended because it ties your output to a medium.
I want to create a desktop mockup on Elementary OS 0.2. By "mockup" I mean something that shows off the aesthetic of the mockup, mostly just showing what selecting/clicking/hovering over a button or widget does to that particular part of the UI. I'm thinking about creating the various parts on GIMP and coding animation and transition logic into the final result. I know that something like this can be done in HTML/JS, but I want to avoid using those. Is there anything optimized for a project like this? I'm open to most languages.
Try WireframeSketcher wireframing tool. Unlike Gimp or PowerPoint, WireframeSketcher is designed specifically to help you create mockups and wireframes. It comes pre-packaged for Debian systems and can also be found in Software Center and so it works on Elementary OS too. Note that it's a commercial tool, but you can try it freely for 14 days.
Most PMs at large companies mock these things up using a presentation package like PowerPoint. If you know the routine and where to click it can look fantastic with minimal effort.
MockupUI does both wireframe and Windows native looking mockups. It uses your desktop's visual style which makes screens and widgets look as a standard Windows application. MockupUI lets you export screens as individual images, docx, pdf or html.
Actions/interactions can be explained by highlighting widgets and adding text annotations.
Ok. had enough of trying out lightboxes, overlays and dialog boxes plugins. The problem is that very few of them support nested (multiple) dialog open at the same time - a typical requirement in my opinion.
I'm looking for a recommendation for a simple plugin that:
supports callsbacks for the usual onShow/onLoad... events
supports nested instances i.e. the user open a dialog, clicks a button on it, another dialog opens up while keeping the first one open in the background. In other words, it should support the closure of each instance programatically
is NOT the jquery ui dialog plugin
This came about after the big disappointment with SimpleModal's inability to support multiple modal boxes open simultaneously!!!! #EricM, why would you do that to me? why???? ;)
I have narrowed it down to jqModal and the jquery tools overlay. The usage of the latter is weird. Maybe i'm tired but i just don't get it.
So before i dive into jqModal, does anyone have any recommendation based on personal experience that will achieve what I'm trying to do?
thanks
Per user feedback, I am opening a new question for this topic.
So I am currently using Struts-Menu to handle my menu needs for my Struts 2 J2EE application. It is not necessarily a package I wish to work with I have found by playing around with it. So what are some alternatives to this package? I immediately flocked to Struts-Menu because I saw a fair amount of web search traffic pointing to it, including those who use Struts2. What I am worried about is difficulty in the future of making it work with other packages, given its 2007 last update and the extra tap dance I had do to make it work with my configuration. It seems too fragile at this point for my taste.
I have several different menus in my app, but the one I am specifically addressing at the present is like this ... The top level menu drops down upon mouse hover over it. The submenus expand horizontally upon mouse hover. Exactly one menu item can be selected as no radio buttons or check boxes are contained in the menu. This particular menu does not require db access to populate its children. It works sort of like Velocity CoolMenus4 from the Struts-Menu demos.
I've never used struts-menu, but it looks like overkill to me.
I would recommend that you locate a menu that you like and then write a tag file to handle outputting it in your view layer. To me, that's a lot easier than using a framework or library just to output a menu. Plus, its specific to the actual menu you want to use. Your tag can handle doing security checks to ensure that the user only sees what they have permission to access, etc.
