Texture tiling

[VT900]

Hi,
Apologies if this has been asked already (I couldnt find a solution by searching, maybe its just me), but theres a really annoying bug in my program. I have isolated it to one cause, and basically, the texture I have assigned the Object3D is tiling. I want it to stretch to cover the object instead of tiling to fill that space. Any way I could do this? This must sound really trivial, but I can't find anything to solve it (although, it seems like a question that would have been asked already)

Regards,
Barry

Which kind of object and which renderer are you using? Any screen shot?

[VT900]

Well, I have a plane from Primitives.getPlane(2, 40f) and using the hardware renderer, though the software renderer seems to do it too. The texture is 256x256px.

A plane created by Primitives shouldn't tile the texture. Are you sure that that's all you do to it? Some examples contain code to introduce that tiling by modifying the texture coordinates are an object has been created. Are you sure that you are not using such method?

Ok, I made some code to demonstrate this problem. I based it off the applet demo in the wiki, and hacked it together really quickly!

Call me a bit of a perfectionist! You can see the yellow pixels showing up in at the bottom, when they are meant to be at the top only.

You are a perfectionist... That's actually normal behaviour cased by the filtering. For the software renderer, there's not much you can do. For hardware, you can call enableGLClamping on the texture and the effect should be gone.

Haha, thanks again Egon, the bug was driving me up the wall
It's fixed now, at last.
