            Texture

    A 2 dimensional texture.

    The pixel data can come from an image file, an image file stream,
    an instance of Image from the Python Imaging Library, a numpy
    array, or None.

    If the data is a numpy array, floating point numbers are assumed
    to be in the range 0.0 to 1.0, and integers are assumed to be in
    the range 0 to 255.  The first index is the row (y position), the
    second index is the column (x position), and if it's RGB or RGBA
    data, the third index specifies the color band.  Thus, if the
    texel data was 640 pixels wide by 480 pixels tall, the array would
    have shape (480,640) for luminance information, (480,640,3) for
    RGB information, and (480,640,4) for RGBA information.

    The 2D texture data is not sent to OpenGL (video texture memory)
    until the load() method is called.  The unload() method may be
    used to remove the data from OpenGL.

    A reference to the original image data is maintained.

Method Details

### __init__(self, texels=None, size=None) (Constructor) | source code
    Creates instance of Texture object.

    texels -- Texture data. If not specified, a blank white
              texture is created.
    size -- If a tuple, force size of texture data if possible,
            raising an exception if not. If None, has no effect.
Overrides: object.__init__

### update(self) | source code
    Update texture data

    This method does nothing, but may be overriden in classes that
    need to update their texture data whenever drawn.

    It it called by the draw() method of any stimuli using
    textures when its texture object is active, so it can safely
    use put_sub_image() to manipulate its own texture data.

### unload(self) | source code
    Unload texture data from video texture memory.

    This only removes data from the video texture memory if there
    are no other references to the TextureObject instance.  To
    ensure this, all references to the texture_object argument
    passed to the load() method should be deleted.

### load(self, texture_object, build_mipmaps=True, rescale_original_to_fill_texture_object=False, internal_format=gl.GL_RGB) | source code
    Load texture data to video texture memory.

    This will cause the texture data to become resident in OpenGL
    video texture memory, enabling fast drawing.

    The texture_object argument is used to specify an instance of
    the TextureObject class, which is a wrapper for the OpenGL
    texture object holding the resident texture.

    To remove a texture from OpenGL's resident textures:       TextureObject passed as the texture_object argument and 2)
    call the unload() method
