	~~Creates~~ a new ~~texture for~~ the ~~frame~~.		'''CreateTexture''' is a method on [[UIObject_Frame\|Frame]] objects that creates and returns a new [[UIObject_Texture\|Texture]]. CreateTexture allows Lua to create textures that would otherwise only be available to XML. This method also lets developers the option to reuse virtual textures declared in XML.

			Creates a new texture for the frame.

			Frame:CreateTexture(["textureName"[, "layer"]][, "inheritsFrom"])

			== Parameters ==
			=== Arguments ===

			:;textureName : String - Name of the newly created texture. If nil, no name is assigned. The function will also set a global variable of this name to point to newly created texture.
			:;layer : String - The [[layer]] to use.
			:;inheritsFrom : String - a comma-delimited list of names of virtual frames to inherit from (the same as in XML). If nil, no frames will be inherited. These frames cannot be frames that were created using this function, they must be created using XML with '''virtual="true"''' in the tag.

			== Usage ==
			Generally, either use the [[API Frame SetBackdrop\|SetBackdrop]] function or use code similar to the following to set a solid color background:

	FRAME.texture = FRAME:CreateTexture()		FRAME.texture = FRAME:CreateTexture()
	FRAME.texture:SetAllPoints(FRAME)		FRAME.texture:SetAllPoints(FRAME)
	FRAME.texture:SetTexture(r,g,b[,a])		FRAME.texture:SetTexture(r,g,b[,a])
