Holds a texture. GLScene objects (eg a sphere) have a material property (type
TGLMaterial)∞ and is used to assign a texture to an object. The
TGLMaterial has properties for linking a material to a material in a
material library (materiallibrary and libmaterialname). Refer to the article about
assigning textures.
TGLMaterial also has properties for specifying the color of a non textured material and how a texture is blended.
For information about loading a texture refer to the
loading a texture article. To change an objects color refer to the
setting a GLScene objects color article. For changing a textures transprancy refer to
making a texture transparent. For information about superblack transparency refer to
using superblack transparency.
