DESCRIPTION

This property node defines a texture map and parameters for that map. This map is used to
apply texture to subsequent shapes as they are rendered.

The texture can be read from the file specified by the filename field. Once the texture
has been read, the image field contains the texture data. However, this field is marked so
the image is not written out when the texture node is written to a file. To turn off
texturing, set the filename field to an empty string ("").

Textures can also be specified in memory by setting the image field to contain the texture
data. Doing so resets the filename to the empty string.

If the texture image's width or height is not a power of 2, or the image's width or height
is greater than the maximum supported by OpenGL, then the image will be automatically
scaled up or down to the next power of 2 or the maximum texture size. For maximum speed,
point-sampling is used to do the scale; if you want more accurate resampling, pre-filter
images to a power of 2 smaller than the maximum texture size (use the OpenGL
glGetIntegerv(GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE...) call to determine maximum texture for a specific
OpenGL implementation).

The quality of the texturing is affected by the textureQuality field of the SoComplexity
node. The textureQuality field affects what kind of filtering is done to the texture when
it must be minified or magnified. The mapping of a particular texture quality value to a
particular OpenGL filtering technique is implementation dependent, and varies based on the
texturing performance. If mipmap filtering is required, mipmaps are automatically created
using the simple box filter.

FIELDS

     SoSFString          filename
          Names file from which to  read  texture  image.  Currently  only  SGI  .rgb  files  are
          supported.  If  the  filename  is  not  an  absolute path name, the list of directories
          maintained by SoInput is searched. If  the  texture  is  not  found  in  any  of  those
          directories,  then  the  file  is searched for relative to the directory from which the
          SoTexture2 node was read. For example,  if  an  SoTexture2  node  with  a  filename  of
          "../tofu.rgb"      is      read      from      /usr/people/bob/models/food.iv,     then
          /usr/people/bob/tofu.rgb will be read (assuming tofu.rgb isn't found in the directories
          maintained by SoInput).

     SoSFImage           image
          Contains  an  in-memory representation of the texture map. It is either the contents of
          the file read from filename, an image read directly from an Inventor file, or an  image
          set programmatically using the methods provided by SoSFImage.

     SoSFEnum            wrapS
     SoSFEnum            wrapT
          Indicates  what  to  do  when texture coordinates in the S (horizontal) or T (vertical)
          direction lie outside the range 0-1.

     SoSFEnum            model
          Specifies how to map texture onto surface.

     SoSFColor           blendColor
          Color used for BLEND model.

METHODS

                         SoTexture2()
          Creates a texture node with default settings.

     static SoType       getClassTypeId()
          Returns type identifier for this class.

ACTION BEHAVIOR

       SoGLRenderAction, SoCallbackAction
          Sets current texture in state.
