types.texture

A texture that can be used in drawables

NOTE

To save GPU memory, textures automatically expire and are deallocated if they are not used for more than 5 minutes.
Expired textures are automatically re-created (and re-downloaded if necessary) the next time they are accessed by a drawable.
