im = Image.open("flower.jpg") # read a jpeg file named flower.jpg
#print im.size # to see the width and height of the image
# optionally crop image with rectangle (x1,y1,x2,y2), where (0,0) is upper left corner:
#im = im.crop((0,20,300,320))
#im.show() # optionally display the cropped image
im = im.resize((256,256)) # resize so that length and width are powers of 2

# getdata() returns a special sequence, which must be made into a list
#   before being made into an array:
data = array(list(im.getdata()),ubyte) # read pixel data into flat Numeric array
data = reshape(data, (256,256,3)) # reshape for rgb texture
# texture (0,0) is lower left corner, so flip the y values:
im = data[::-1].copy() # copy() is necessary to make array contiguous in memory

photo = texture(data=im, type="rgb")
box(size=(10,10,0.01), texture=photo, shininess=0)
box(pos=(0,-5.5,0), size=(12,1,2), color=color.cyan)
