14 Shader Objects Routines

14 Managing Textures

QuickDraw3D provides routines that you can use to get information about the characteristics of a texture. You can get the dimensions of a texture, as well as the number of channels and the number of bits per channel. You cannot, however, reset any of these texture characteristics (they are determined at the time you create a texture object). You can also get the current alpha and RGB channels of a texture. You can reset these characteristics to achieve special effects.

To create a texture object, you need to create an instance of some subclass of the texture class. For example, you can create a pixmap texture object by calling Q3PixmapTexture_New. See "Managing Pixmap Textures" on page 14-29 for information on creating and manipulating pixmap textures.<8bat>u
