Texture Transformations

One trick that we can use a texture transformation for is to make sure that a texture is always applied at the same scale, as an object is transformed.

If we apply a texture to an object normally, and then scale the object, the texture appears to stretch:

By applying the same scaling to the texture coordinates as to the geometry, the texture "grows", and does not stretch:

    glMatrixMode(GL_TEXTURE);
     glLoadIdentity();
     glScalef(size, 1, 1);
    glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
    glScalef(size, 1, 1);
