How can I use textures in VPython 3D graphics?

You can apply textures in VPython by using the texture parameter in your 3D objects. For example, you can load an image file and apply it to a box or sphere.

Can you show me a code example for that?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from vpython import *

# Load a texture image
texture_image = textures.load('path/to/your/image.jpg')

# Create a box with the texture
box = box(pos=vector(0,0,0), size=vector(1,1,1), texture=texture_image)

What types of images can I use as textures?

You can use common image formats like JPEG, PNG, and GIF. Just make sure the image is accessible from your script.

Are there any limitations on texture size?

Yes, it's best to keep texture sizes reasonable, typically under 2048x2048 pixels, to ensure good performance.
