How to add texture in Vpython?

Question

i Wonder How to put texture on my boxes in my Vpython script?

Answer 1

from visual import *

box(pos=(-1,-1,-2), length=2, height=2, width=4, material=materials.wood)

For more details, see http://vpython.org/contents/docs/visual/materials.html

Edit: at the link above, look for the section titled "Making a texture from a photo"

Edit2: not sure what's causing your error; this works for me:

from visual import *
import Image

im = Image.open('flower.jpg')  # size must be power of 2, ie 128 x 128
tex = materials.texture(data=im, mapping='rectangular')

box(material=tex)

Edit3: I figured out what caused your error:

box(material=materials.loadTGA(filename))

fails;

tex = materials.texture(data=loadTGA(filename), mapping='rectangular')
box(material=tex)

works properly.
