vtkTexture

Section: Visualization Toolkit Rendering Classes

Usage

vtkTexture is an object that handles loading and binding of texture maps. It obtains its data from an input image data dataset type. Thus you can create visualization pipelines to read, process, and construct textures. Note that textures will only work if texture coordinates are also defined, and if the rendering system supports texture.

Instances of vtkTexture are associated with actors via the actor's SetTexture() method. Actors can share texture maps (this is encouraged to save memory resources.)

To create an instance of class vtkTexture, simply invoke its constructor as follows

  obj = vtkTexture

Methods

The class vtkTexture has several methods that can be used. They are listed below. Note that the documentation is translated automatically from the VTK sources, and may not be completely intelligible. When in doubt, consult the VTK website. In the methods listed below, obj is an instance of the vtkTexture class.
