Presumably you mean openvrml::gl::viewer.

As far as an OpenGL renderer is concerned, openvrml::gl::viewer is all
that OpenVRML gives you. I suspect you could get the functionality you
need by inheriting it and selectively overriding its methods.

In the worst case (i.e., if you find openvrml::gl::viewer working
against you too much), you can create your own renderer from scratch by
inheriting openvrml::viewer just like openvrml::gl::viewer does.
