I have searched the vtk.js API and examples and I am unable to find out how to load a vtkTexture from a JPEG image retrieved from a URL. Similar to vtkJPEGReader in standard VTK. Any help would be appreciated.

```auto
const img = new Image();
img.src = 'http://url/to/your/image.jpg';
const texture = vtkTexture.newInstance();
texture.setImage(img);
```

Thanks Sebastien! That was much simpler than I thought! I am really excited about using VTK.js and will try to help contribute to the examples when I can.

Hello, Sebastien Jourdain. In VTK development, I failed to use JPEG in URL to do texture. can’t show it!

I don’t think you can add a texture to a set of lines. You need a surface/box to be able to see your texture.

But I don’t understand what you want to do. You seems to have a vtkImageData and you want to do something with a texture but I have no clue what that could be.
