## DESCRIPTION

**This node defines a set of 2D coordinates to be used to map textures to subsequent vertex-based shapes (those derived from SoVertexShape**). It replaces the current texture coordinates in the rendering state for the shapes to use.

The current texture coordinate binding (see **SoTextureCoordinateBinding**) determines how texture coordinates are mapped to vertices of shapes. An alternative to using explicit texture coordinates is to generate them using a function; see **SoTextureCoordinateFunction**.

Texture coordinates range from 0 to 1 across the texture. The horizontal coordinate, called **S**, is specified first, followed by the vertical coordinate, **T**.

## FIELDS

**SoMFVec2f**	**point**\
 Texture coordinate points.

## METHODS

	**SoTextureCoordinate2()**\
 Creates a texture coordinate node with default settings.

**static SoType**	**getClassTypeId()**\
 Returns type identifier for this class.

## ACTION BEHAVIOR

**SoGLRenderAction, SoCallbackAction**\
 Sets the current texture coordinates in the state.

## FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS

```
TextureCoordinate2 {
point	[  ]
}
```
