* [[View manager|View]] to use. This could be one of the "main" ones (i.e. the ones on the main property tree), or a locally-defined one that is only known to this Canvas Element (think FLIR). | * [[View manager|View]] to use.

* Scene graph to use. By default the main scene graph would be used, but an arbitrary XML file can be loaded to [[Howto:Extending Canvas to support rendering 3D models|render a custom model]]. A typical use-case would be instruments that need to [[Shuttle ADI ball|manipulate/render a 3D object]] (for which we have working code, too) | * Scene graph to use.

Simplifying a lot, this Canvas Element would be an aggregation of a Compositor instance, a View and a pointer to a <tt>osg::Group</tt> representing the scene graph to render. This setup could be replicated in {{flightgear file|src/Viewer/fg_os_osgviewer.cxx}}, with the difference of ignoring Canvas and using native windowing features from OSG. | Simplifying a lot, this Canvas Element would be an aggregation of a Compositor instance, a View and a pointer to a <tt>osg::Group</tt> representing the scene graph to render.
