===============
Sphere Texture
===============
In this tutorial, we will show how to create a sphere with a texture.


.. code-block:: default


    import numpy as np
    from fury import window, actor, utils, primitive, io
    from fury.data import read_viz_textures, fetch_viz_textures







Create a scene to start.


.. code-block:: default


    scene = window.Scene()







Load an image (png, bmp, jpeg or jpg) using ``io.load_image``. In this
example, we will use ``read_viz_textures`` to access an image of the
Earth's surface from the fury Github after using ''fetch_viz_textures()''
to download the available textures.


.. code-block:: default


    fetch_viz_textures()
    filename = read_viz_textures("1_earth_8k.jpg")
    image = io.load_image(filename)





.. rst-class:: sphx-glr-script-out

 Out:

 .. code-block:: none

    Dataset is already in place. If you want to fetch it again please first remove the folder /Users/koudoro/.fury/textures 



Next, use ``actor.texture_on_sphere`` to add a sphere with the texture from
your loaded image to the already existing scene.
To add a texture to your scene as visualized on a plane, use
``actor.texture`` instead.


.. code-block:: default


    scene.add(actor.texture_on_sphere(image))







Lastly, record the scene, or set interactive to True if you would like to
manipulate your new sphere.


.. code-block:: default


    interactive = False
    if interactive:
        window.show(scene, size=(600, 600), reset_camera=False)
    window.record(scene, size=(900, 768), out_path="viz_texture.png")
