4.19 How to render a textured sphere in OpenGL?

In OpenGL, you can map a texture to a solid sphere by using gluSphere and gluQuadricTexture APIs in OpenGL GLU library.
In this example, we have used the OpenGLTexturedSphere.
OpenGLObject

  OpenGLTexture

    OpenGLTexture2D
    
      OpenGLTexturedSphere

The following TexturedSphereRotationByKeyInput is a simple example to draw a textured shpere and rotate it by Left or Rigth keys.

In this example, we have used the world map of 'world.topo.bathy.200412.3x5400x2700.jpg' file in the following page.

We have used the following world map file based on the 'world.topo.bathy.200412.3x5400x2700.jpg'.







We have used the following Viking's Mars 'mar0kuu2.jpg' created by Caltech/JPL/USGS in the SOLAR SYSTEM SIMULATOR.







We have also used the following Jupiter 'PIA07782_hires.jpg' in the JPL Cassini's Best Maps of Jupiter.
