# SoTextureCoordinateBinding(3iv)

node that specifies how texture coordinates are bound to shapes

## NAME

SoTextureCoordinateBinding — node that specifies how texture coordinates are bound to shapes

## INHERITS FROM

SoBase \> SoFieldContainer \> SoNode \> SoTextureCoordinateBinding

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<Inventor/nodes/SoTextureCoordinateBinding.h\>**

**enum Binding {** **SoTextureCoordinateBinding::PER\_VERTEX**\
 	Current texture coordinates are applied sequentially to vertices of shape\
 **SoTextureCoordinateBinding::PER\_VERTEX\_INDEXED**\
 	Current texture coordinates are indexed per vertex\
 **}**

## DESCRIPTION

**This node specifies how the current texture coordinates are bound to vertex-based shapes that follow in the scene graph. The DEFAULT** binding causes each shape to define its own default coordinates. These default coordinates typically cause a texture to be mapped across the whole surface of a shape.

## FIELDS

**SoSFEnum**	**value**\
 Specifies how to bind texture coordinates to shapes.

## METHODS

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

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

## ACTION BEHAVIOR

**SoGLRenderAction, SoCallbackAction**\
 Sets the current texture coordinate binding type.

## FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS

```
TextureCoordinateBinding {
value	PER_VERTEX_INDEXED
}
```
