Texture commands

The pixel height and width of the 2D images you use as textures should be powers of 2 (that is, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and so on). If not, the image will be resized to a dimension that is a power of 2. The `scaleDown()` command allows you to retain manual control over this procedure at the texture level.

Command | Description | Returns
--- | --- | ---
`scaleDown()` | Reduces the height of the texture to the next lowest power of 2. This is useful for dynamically resizing textures to fit on a client machine. | Nothing
