Just a side note - I was able to modify things to operate using PImage rather than PShape, so the original suggestion in [this link](https://discourse.processing.org/t/placing-a-texture-on-a-pshape/13561) does provide an answer, if the query above is intractable I’ll rework the non-trivial code to use that approach but I am curious why I’m seeing different results with the PShape method to what Jeremy and others expected…
