jit.gl.texture

Manages a GL texture

Description

The jit.gl.texture object creates an OpenGL texture from a jit.matrix object with less than 4 planes and fewer than 3 dimensions. Multiple jit.gl.texture objects can be attached to any OB3D thru the OB3D texture method. If the texture is attached to an OB3D, the OB3D will automatically bind the jit.gl.texture object as needed. The jit.gl.texture object requires one argument: the name of a drawing context. A named drawing context is a named instance of a jit.window, jit.pwindow, or jit.matrix object that has an instance of the jit.gl.render object associated with it. This value may also be set via the OB3D drawto attribute.

Information for Jitter 3D Object (OB3D) messages and attributes to this object

Messages

begin_capture Manually forces the texture to start capturing the contents of the OpenGL framebuffer.
bind Manually binds the texture object.
end_capture Manually forces the texture to stop capturing the contents of the OpenGL framebuffer.
read filename [symbol]
 Loads the given image or movie from disk.
unbind Manually unbinds the texture object.
tomatrix name [symbol]
 Updates the jit.matrix object with the data contained inside the jit.gl.texture object.
subtex_matrix Submits the incoming matrix as a subtexture of the previously submitted matrix

Attributes
