How to make the texture in sliced mode? - opengl

Question

I have a GL.GL_QUAD_STRIP with a texture , since the GL.GL_QUAD_STRIP sizes are much larger then the texture image sizes , this image become stretched and blur , So I thought maybe there is a way to set this texture in "sliced" mode to make it more clearly and sharp .
Edit: "sliced" I mean in the location the images end I would be start to be drawn again except to be appear one whit hard stretch .
That's what I have so far -
double m_x , m_y , m_z ;
Texture m_cubeSides ;
public void display(GLAutoDrawable gLDrawable)
{
final GL gl = gLDrawable.getGL();
gl.glTexParameteri ( GL.GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL.GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T,GL.GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR);
gl.glTexParameteri( GL.GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL.GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S,GL.GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR);
m_cubeSides.bind();
gl.glBegin(GL.GL_QUAD_STRIP);
// Quad 1
gl.glTexCoord2f(1.0f, 0.0f);
gl.glVertex3d(m_x, m_y, 0);
gl.glTexCoord2f(1.0f, 1.0f);
gl.glVertex3d(m_x, 0, 0);
gl.glTexCoord2f(0.0f, 0.0f);
gl.glVertex3d(0, m_y, 0);
gl.glTexCoord2f(0.0f, 1.0f);
gl.glVertex3d(0, 0, 0);
// Quad 2 - front
gl.glTexCoord2f(1.0f, 0.0f);
gl.glVertex3d(0, m_y, m_z);
gl.glTexCoord2f(1.0f, 1.0f);
gl.glVertex3d(0, 0, m_z);
gl.glTexCoord2f(0.0f, 0.0f);
gl.glVertex3d(m_x, m_y, m_z);
gl.glTexCoord2f(0.0f, 1.0f);
gl.glVertex3d(m_x, 0, m_z);
// Quad 3 - east side
gl.glTexCoord2f(1.0f, 0.0f);
gl.glVertex3d(m_x, m_y, m_z);
gl.glTexCoord2f(1.0f, 1.0f);
gl.glVertex3d(m_x, 0, m_z);
gl.glTexCoord2f(0.0f, 0.0f);
gl.glVertex3d(m_x, m_y, 0);
gl.glTexCoord2f(0.0f, 1.0f);
gl.glVertex3d(m_x, 0, 0);
// Quad 4 - west side
gl.glTexCoord2f(1.0f, 0.0f);
gl.glVertex3d(0, m_y, 0);
gl.glTexCoord2f(1.0f, 1.0f);
gl.glVertex3d(0, 0, 0);
gl.glTexCoord2f(0.0f, 0.0f);
gl.glVertex3d(0, m_y, m_z);
gl.glTexCoord2f(0.0f, 1.0f);
gl.glVertex3d(0, 0, m_z);
gl.glEnd();
}

I'm not sure what you mean by sliced mode, however changing the texture coordinates would work. There are an awful lot of calls to glTexCoord2f so perhaps a variable to replace all the instances of 1.0f in the glTexCoord2f calls and then vary that till you get a nice result. You've already set the texture wrap mode to repeat which is required.
Something like:
float textureMax = 5.0f;
...
gl.glTexCoord2f(textureMax , 0.0f);
gl.glVertex3d(m_x, m_y, 0);
gl.glTexCoord2f(textureMax ,textureMax );
gl.glVertex3d(m_x, 0, 0);
gl.glTexCoord2f(0.0f, 0.0f);
gl.glVertex3d(0, m_y, 0);
gl.glTexCoord2f(0.0f, textureMax );
gl.glVertex3d(0, 0, 0);
The downside of this though is that you need a texture you can tile, otherwise this may not look great.
Another option is a bigger texture, of course :)
