Assigning values above 1 in the texture coordinates where you don’t have textures with setting repeat on the `vtkTexture` to False should do the trick. Here is an example using [PyVista](https://docs.pyvista.org) to show what this would look like:

```python
from pyvista import examples

texture = examples.download_puppy_texture()
texture.SetRepeat(False)

mesh = examples.load_random_hills()
mesh.texture_map_to_plane(inplace=True)

# Now turn off a region of the texture mapping
idx = mesh.points[:,0] > 5
mesh.t_coords[idx] = [1.1, 1.1]

mesh.plot(texture=texture, cpos='xy', 
          show_grid=True, color='white')

```
