Sphere texturing

[harkness526]

I'm trying to plot mesh with Earth texture, but as a result, I got a shphere with a strange color. I suppose that problem with u and v, but I don't know how to fix it.

import PIL.Image
import numpy as np
import ipyvolume as ipv
image = PIL.Image.open('2k_earth_daymap.jpg')
R = 12742
u = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, 100)
v = np.linspace(0, np.pi, 100)

x = R * np.outer(np.cos(u), np.sin(v))
y = R * np.outer(np.sin(u), np.sin(v))
z = R * np.outer(np.ones(np.size(u)), np.cos(v))

# u = np.array([x/5 +np.sin(k/8*np.pi)*4. for k in range(8)])
# v = np.array([-y/5*(1-k/7.) + z*(k/7.) for k in range(8)])
ipv.figure()
ipv.plot_mesh(x, z, y,u=y, v=x,wireframe=False,texture = image)  #texture = image
# earth.texture = PIL.Image.open('2k_earth_daymap.jpg')
ipv.show()

Is there any progress on this? I'm actually have the same issue.

Here is an example of how to do this @harkness526

Thanks for the report! I think #302 is a good example for this, if not, please reopen.
