Exactly. It is one of the possible solutions. I have not fully 
understood your problem though.

I don't get the monochromatic part ... Currently I left out any vertex 
colors and define the color with the texture only.

Not really, the texture in this example maps to all triangles, so there 
is no color needed. The mapping is uniform, linear and non-repeating to 
have an addressable element.
> 2) On the basis of point 1) is it possible to add a texture only to triangles affected by a "material". In your example you added a texture to the overall geometry. Isn't that a problem if the road has a bunch of vertices? I mean, that bunch of vertices would be duplicated to create texture coords.
What would this safe you? Effectively in my example you wouldn't need 
more than 4 vertices and still can "edit" the colors. As long as I don't 
understand your data-set it is impossible to give you a more elaborate 
answer.
> 3) In the attached example Ididn't understand how to set the image just to the picked triangle so that it will be shown of the "current" color. (In my example pushing 1,2,3 and 4 keys changes the current color).
The image spans the whole set .. As I said, it is one way to go. The 
mapping is simply there to map a texture coordinate to a position in the 
mesh. The tex->getImage(0)->setColor(selectedColor, tc); should work 
fine, if the texture coordinates are correct.

Try LINEAR and see the difference. It basically prevents neighboring 
pixels from being affected.

What isn't working? My original example should work, with a slight 
offset in the picking. This is due to pixel center issues and can be 
solved by manually calculating the offset. I simply had no more time to 
make it nice...
I had a quick peek at your source: You only define 4 texture 
coordinates, where you need one per vertex .... Try to load a texture 
from file to test your coordinates


Again: You cannot share all edges really when you need to have 
per-triangle properties. You might use vertex colors with flat-shading, 
but I don't know the expected result: Does it need to look good or is it 
simply some graphical representation?

Cheers
