<h1>Textures</h1>
<p>The following functions are all related to "textures", ie: images that are stored in <a class="tooltip" title="VRAM is the amount of memory available for video, ie: the memory space that can store textures and images.">VRAM</a> to be used as sprites or other things within your game. The first set of functions available
are used to retrieve information about specific images and their position or size on the <a href="../../../../Settings/Texture_Information/Texture_Pages.htm">Texture Page</a>, as well as set certain texture features:</p>
<p> </p>
<ul class="colour">
<li><a href="texture_get_width.htm">texture_get_width</a></li>
<li><a href="texture_get_width.htm">texture_get_height</a></li>
<li><a href="texture_get_texel_width.htm">texture_get_texel_width</a></li>
<li><a href="texture_get_texel_height.htm">texture_get_texel_height</a></li>
<li><a href="texture_get_uvs.htm">texture_get_uvs</a></li>
<li><a href="texture_set_stage.htm">texture_set_stage</a></li>
<li><a href="texture_global_scale.htm">texture_global_scale</a></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>GameMaker Studio 2 also has a number of functions related to the managing the VRAM associated with individual textures as well as whole texture groups:</p>
<p> </p>
<ul class="colour">
<li><a href="draw_texture_flush.htm">draw_texture_flush</a></li>
<li><a href="texture_prefetch.htm">texture_prefetch</a></li>
<li><a href="texture_flush.htm">texture_flush</a></li>
<li><a href="../../Asset_Management/Sprites/Sprite_Manipulation/sprite_flush.htm">sprite_flush</a></li>
<li><a href="../../Asset_Management/Sprites/Sprite_Manipulation/sprite_flush_multi.htm">sprite_flush_multi</a></li>
<li><a href="../../Asset_Management/Sprites/Sprite_Manipulation/sprite_prefetch.htm">sprite_prefetch</a></li>
<li><a href="../../Asset_Management/Sprites/Sprite_Manipulation/sprite_prefetch_multi.htm">sprite_prefetch_multi</a></li>
<li><a href="../draw_flush.htm">draw_flush</a></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>Finally, we have the following functions which are primarily for use to debug the project and ensure efficient use of texture memory:</p>
<p> </p>
<ul class="colour">
<li><a href="texture_debug_messages.htm">texture_debug_messages</a></li>
<li><a href="texture_is_ready.htm">texture_is_ready</a></li>
<li><a href="texturegroup_get_textures.htm">texturegroup_get_textures</a></li>
<li><a href="texturegroup_get_sprites.htm">texturegroup_get_sprites</a></li>
<li><a href="texturegroup_get_fonts.htm">texturegroup_get_fonts</a></li>
<li><a href="texturegroup_get_tilesets.htm">texturegroup_get_tilesets</a></li>
</ul>
