So, i’m making a 3d renderer (because i can) and I want to be able to tile a texture on to a shape in the renderer. I am using the PShape (or whatever it’s called). How to I tile an image on to one shape?

Use :

```auto
PShape shape;
PImage img;

shape.setTexture(img);

```

That only puts it on ONCE, I want it TILED. MORE THAN ONCE.
