How to apply a texture to a cylinders top

Hello!

Have a problem with VRML textures. I have a cylinder which is in fact a disc
(r>>h) and I want put a texture only on the top of the cylinder. The texture
shouldn't be seen on the sides or the bottom. All I can do is to put the
texture on the sides... Could someone help me with this?

Thanks!

John

The code:

#VRML V2.0 utf8
Transform {
children Shape {
appearance Appearance {
material Material {
}
texture ImageTexture {
url "texture.jpg"
}
}
geometry Cylinder {
height 0.003
radius 0.1025
}
}
}

I figured this out allready. Just made two cylinders, one with only the top
and another with sides and bottom.

Huh, I know that with Internet Space Builder (from Parallel Graphics)
you can easily do that :
- you build a cylinder
- you select the texture
- you drag and drop (from the texture zone - in fact a sphere with the
selected texture - to the face of your object in the 3D area).
And next, look at the source code.

Bye
