[osg-users] Possibility to cast/convert TextureRectangle to Texture2D

[Robert Osfield]

Hi Tim.

Texture2D and TextureRectangle are wrappers around two distinct types
of OpenGL textures, and at a C++ level are both subclassed from
osg::Texture, so there is no OpenGL level mapping that makes sense in
attempting to convert one to the other, and at the C++ level there
isn't any means for casting one to the other, there are different end
of storty.

I really no clue as to why you are thinking that this "cast" might be
appropriate or useful, but it's not even close to something that is
either possible or useful.

The best we can do is ask you to take a step back and tell us what the
problem you have.

Robert.
