TextureMapToSphere reverses textures

This issue was created automatically from an original Mantis Issue. Further discussion may take place here.


I have a user that wants to map the world to a sphere. ParaView 3.6.2, XP, local server.

  • Sources/ SuperQuadric. Theta resolution == 128. Phi Resolution = 128.

  • Turn off Toroidal.

  • Apply.

  • On the Display tab, Apply Texture.

  • Use the world map, found at http://www.oera.net/How2/PlanetTexs/EarthMap_2500x1250.jpg. [^] (Enter this on the Display tab)

  • Notice that the earth looks good.

  • Filters/ Alphabetical/ TextureMapToSphere.

  • On the Display tab, Apply Texture.

  • Notice that the earth looks reversed.

We are speculating this is because the original developer of this filter wanted to be able to wrap the texture on a sphere, and that the user then moved the eye INSIDE of the sphere - thus making the sphere the 3d window background. Thus, please make a user selectable option allowing the user to reverse the texture if desired.
