It's important to realise that ODE doesn't do anything with graphics. All the 
test programs use 'drawstuff'. A very simple graphics library on top of 
OpenGL.

If drawstuff doesn't offer the functionality you need you can consider using 
another library to do the drawing, like GLUT. You can look at the source of 
drawstuff to see how it uses the position and orientation of objects to 
display them.
