/*! \brief A texture wrapper for OpenGL

\ingroup OGLToolsGroup
CGLTexture is a simple wrapper to OpenGL texture object.
It enables easy changing of texture images, 
reusing existing texture object when possible.
Call ChangeImage(&CGLImage) to create/recreate/reuse
a texture and copy CGLImage image to the texture object.
Use Bind() to bind a texture. 
Use Invalidate() before switching to a new RC.
If Invalidate() is called and then Bind() is called in a new RC,
the texture will be automaticaly recreated using a backup copy
of the image. If you are not going to use the same texture 
in multiple RC's, call ChangeImage() with second parameter 
set to 'false' so it won't make unnecessary 
backup copy of the image.

\code
	if(bChangeImage)
	{
      // Handle a request to use a different image 
      // for texture.

	bChangeImage = false;
	CGLImage glImage;
	glImage.Create(m_strNewImageFilePath, GL_RGBA);
	m_tex1.ChangeImage(&glImage, false); 
	}

	m_tex1.Bind();  
\endcode

Use Coordn() function to generate texture coordinates 
which point to the four corners of current subimage
inside a possibly larger texture.

\code
	glBegin(GL_QUADS);
		m_tex1.Coord0(); glVertex3f(-5.0, -5.0, 0.0);
		m_tex1.Coord1(); glVertex3f(-5.0, 5.0, 0.0);
		m_tex1.Coord2(); glVertex3f(5.0, 5.0, 0.0);
		m_tex1.Coord3(); glVertex3f(5.0, -5.0, 0.0);
	glEnd();

	glFlush();
	glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
\endcode
