Map texture to patch

patchTexture maps a texture onto a patch object

Description

SYNOPSIS: patchTexture(patchHandle,texture)

INPUT
patchHandle: handle to patch object
texture: texture to map onto the surface defined via patch
   Texture can be a grayscale or an RGB image

OUTPUT
none - the texture is mapped onto the patch identified by
patchHandle by reading the image at the [x,y] coordinates
of the vertices of the patch. The vertex coordinates are
rescaled so that a maximum of the image can be read.

 EXAMPLE
            [xx,yy,zz] = ndgrid(-100:100,-100:100,-100:100);
            img = xx.^2 + yy.^2 + zz.^2 < 99^2;
            img = convn(img,ones(5,5,5)/(5*5*5));
            p = isosurface(img,0.5);
            ph = patch(p);
            set(gca,'visible','off')
            axis equal
            texture = imread('autumn.tif');
            patchTexture(ph,texture)
            view(58,82)
