Discussion - proposal to extend !TEXMAP specification

[Roland Melkert]

Do we need !CODE? For library purposes

No it is only for embedding png's inside a mpd on the user side.

How can we make the "receiving" surface—that is, the <geometry1> data in the !: meta—invisible? Is that possible now (with a PNG file) or would something have to be added?

This works exactly the same for a png or ldr texture as the ldr is only used to generate a bitmap internally. The same kind of bitmap png's will end up in currently.

The spec needs only to allow referring to a ldraw file (dat/ldr/mpd) or a png.
And it must also explain how such a ldraw file is expected to end up in a bitmap projection wise and maybe (relative) size wise.
