Texture over a mesh

[ManuGraiph]

Hi Marco,

Quick question.. it's possible to apply a texture/image over a mesh in vedo? Like in pyvista when you plot a mesh with an image applied over its elements.

Thanks in advance!

Yes of course!

vedo --search texture

--> examples/advanced/geological_model.py:
77	top_granitoid_vertices = Points(xyz).generate_delaunay2d().texture(dataurl+'textures/paper2.jpg')
96	boundary.lw(0).texture(dataurl+'textures/wood1.jpg')

1	Show a cube for each available texture name.
2	Any jpg file can be used as texture.
6	textures_path = dataurl+'textures/'
9	print('example textures:', textures_path)
12	cubes.append(Cube().texture(textures_path+'leather.jpg'))
13	cubes.append(Cube().texture(textures_path+'paper2.jpg'))
14	cubes.append(Cube().texture(textures_path+'wood1.jpg'))
15	cubes.append(Cube().texture(textures_path+'wood2.jpg'))

16	f2 = plot(f, texture=dataurl+'textures/paper3.jpg')
26	    texture=dataurl+'textures/paper1.jpg',

Thanks a lot, i'll give it a try tomorrow!!

Sorry to reopen, i checked the examples and i'm basically doing something like:

mesh = vd.open(mesh_path)
mesh.texture(texture_path)

And then i'm trying to visualize it, but i can't.. i'm trying show(mesh), or creating a Plotter(object), but when i try to show it, i just get:

<vedo.plotter.Plotter object at 0x7a6b8324cf50>

I'm guessing i'm missing the plot backend for vedo, but i'm not sure how to fix it.
