Texture Pane

The Texture pane shows the content of the texture that has been selected in textures view.

If the texture has a mip-map chain, you can change the displayed mip-map level with the slider at the bottom (not pictured). By default, the highest resolution level, level 0, will be displayed.

Move the cursor over the texture image to display a zoomed-in preview of the surrounding pixels in the bottom-left hand corner of the view as in the image above. The pane will also show the texture width and height as well as the x and y coordinates, normalized texture coordinates (U and V values), and RBGA hex value for that point on the image.
