Is it possible to render a QUAD_STRIP or TRI_STRIP with a bound texture? I haven’t seen any sample code that does this.
Its exactly the same as texturing a quad or triangle
I was curious about this also. It must be different from a triangle or quad because a single vertex can be a point on more than one quad in a strip. This complicates the issue of texture coordinates.
I think it is down to the texture parameters used ie clamping, wrapping, whatever - but I haven’t been able to do it either yet
Any chance of a small sample of code from someone?

nope it doesn’t - strips must share vertices, tex-coords and normals. If you have geometry that doesn’t share the data then use seperate strips.

This is the reason, why you can’t build a cube with normals from quad-strips.
I managed to do it with a single bound texture. It would nice if you could change textures though. I don’t see this as possible unless perhaps if I used a texture strip and specified different texture coordinates for each iteration.

A vertex is not only three (or four to be correct, OpenGL uses homogenous cooridnates) coordinates. It has color, texture coordinate, normal componentes, fog factor, and so on, associated to it aswell. If one or more of these componenets change, you no longer have the same vertex. So if two vertices with he same coordinates has different normals, they can not be merged into one, because they are not the equal.
