-<u>Texture Mapping</u></h2></center>
-<a href="Gloss.html#Texture">Texture mapping</a> is the act of applying
-pixel data to a geometric object.  In GEM, this is achieved with the
-<i>[pix_texture]</i>
-object.  It is important to understand that the
-<i>[pix_texture]</i>
-object merely sets the pix as the current texture.  It does not do
-any rendering!  You need to use a geo object which does texture mapping. 
-All of the basic geo objects can texture map, such as <i>[square]</i> or
-<i>[sphere]</i>.

-<p>A simple example of texture mapping is the following patch:
-<center>
-<p><img SRC="texture.jpg" BORDER=1 height=182 width=160></center>
-
-<p>This patch can be found at 07.texture/01.texture.pd.  Change
-the number box connected to the rotate object to see what a texture map
-on a cube looks like.
-<p>The <i>[pix_image]</i> object loads in the fractal image file.  The
-<i>[pix_texture]</i>
-object says that the pix data should be used as a texture map.  Notice
-that this is different than the previous manual section when we used the
-<i>[pix_draw]</i> object.  The final object in the chain is the <i>[cube]</i>
-object.  Because we have enabled texture mapping with the <i>[pix_texture]</i>
-object, the cube takes the pix data and applies it to the geometry.
-<p><img SRC="tribar.gif" height=13 width=561>
-<p>Texture mapping can be used with any GEM object.  In the previous
-manual section, you saw how to load in pix data with a variety of objects,
-including <i>[pix_multiimage]</i> and <i>[pix_video]</i>.  All of these
-objects can be used with the <i>[pix_texture]</i> object.
-<p>Because the pix data is applied to geometry, you can move, rotate, and
-scale the image.  This is extremely useful on the <i>[square]</i> object. 
-Instead of doing a one-to-one pixel mapping as occurs with the <i>[pix_draw]</i>
-object, you can resize and reshape the image.
-<p>OpenGL originally required that images must have dimensions that are power-of-2, such as 64, 128, or 256. This restriction has been released with recent gfx-cards
-(like some radeon/nvidia products).
-However, if the width or height of an image is not a power of two,
-then the <i>[pix_texture]</i> object will take care of this, 
-and still render it (depending on you hardware with some tricks).
-You can thus texture images of any size, but since this is based on tricking 
-the texture-coordinates, <i>[pix_coordinate]</i> might not give the wanted result any more.
-<p><img SRC="tribar.gif" height=13 width=561>
-<p>The example patch 07.texture/02.moveImages.pd is a much more complex
-patch which uses alpha blending to create a transparent object, in this
-case, the dancer.  Make sure to turn on the rotation with the <i>[metro]</i>
-object.

-<p>People have been asking how textures are handled in GEM.  Here
-is a long explanation from an email which I wrote.
-<p><tt>  Here is how textures are dealt with under OpenGL and hardware
-accelerators.  This can obviously change in the future, but right
-now, I am fairly certain that the info is correct (I make games in my day
-job, so I have vested interest in this :-)</tt><tt></tt>
-<p><tt>  The amount of memory (VRAM) on the card (12mb for Voodoo2,
-16mb for TNT, 64mb for GeForce2, etc) is used for both textures (TRAM)
-and frame buffer space.  If you have a large rendering window, like
-1600x1200, it will take up 1600x1200x4x3 in 32-bit mode with double buffering
-and a Z buffer (or 23mb).  Most people run at TV resolution, like
-NTSC, so it takes 640x480x4x3 = 3.7mb   All of the space left
-is for textures onboard the card (FYI, if you have heard that people are
-having problems with the PlayStation2, notice that it only has 4mb of VRAM...not
-much onboard texture space, huh? :-)  Thankfully it has an <i>extremely</i>
-fast DMA bus)</tt><tt></tt>
-<p><tt>  Sooo, when GEM "creates" a texture, it immediately tries
-to send the texture to the card, which uses some of the left over space
-in the VRAM.  If you had a 640x480 window on a Voodoo2, you have ~8mb
-of texture space left over.  On a GeForce2, ~60mb.  The problem
-is what happens if you want more textures than can fit into TRAM. 
-OpenGL requires that the video drivers deal with the problem, so GEM doesn't
-care too much (more about this later).</tt><tt></tt>
-<p><tt>  In most cases, the drivers cache the textures in main memory
-and if a texture is requested for rendering and it isn't resident on the
-card, it will download it.  If you have AGP, then this is pretty quick,
-although none of 3dfx cards really take advantage of this (ie, those cards
-are about the same speed as the PCI bus).  So depending on the number
-of textures, and how complex the scene is, you might be able to display
-more textures than you have TRAM.</tt><tt></tt>
-<p><tt>  One slowdown that can happen with GEM is that it makes a
-copy of the image before sending it down the chain of objects.  If
-you are constantly changing images with a pix_multiimage, this can be a
-performance hit, but you can modify the actual pixel data with the pix
-objects.  The pixels aren't sent to the graphics card until the pix_texture
-object is reached.</tt><tt></tt>
-<p><tt>  GEM tries to help with this with a few objects.  pix_imageInPlace
-acts much the same as pix_multiimage, but it downloads _every_ image in
-the sequence to the card when a download message is recieved.  It
-also immediately turns on texturing, instead of making a copy (ie, you
-don't need a pix_texture object).  Much faster, but not as flexible. 
-pix_movie does much the same thing.  It sends the pixel data without
-copying it if there is a new frame to display.</tt><tt></tt>
-<p><tt>  The entire pix system uses a caching system so that the copying
-and processing only occurs if something actually changes.  For example,
-if you had a pix_threshold object, it would only process when rendering
-started...and every time that the values actually changed.  You can
-use pix_buf to isolate parts which don't change from those that do, but
-it involves another copy.</tt><tt></tt>
-<p><tt>  On the Voodoo2, the hardware itself limits textures to 256x256...this
-will never change.  The newest Voodoo5 boards have a higher texture
-size.</tt><tt></tt>
-<p><tt>  If you load the _exact_ same image (this means the exact
-same file/path name), then the pix_image has a cache system which means
-that it is only loaded into the</tt>
-<br><tt>computers memory once.  However, each pix_image still sends
-its own copy down to the gfx card.</tt><tt></tt>
-<p><tt>  You could use a single [pix_image]/[pix_texture] with [separator]
-to do this...I have done it a lot in the past.</tt><tt></tt>
-<p><tt>  The reason that [pix_image] doesn't share the actual texture
-data is that you can modify the pixel data with other pix objects...[pix_image]
-doesn't actually send the texture data to the gfx card, [pix_texture] does.</tt>
