# Py5Shape.set_texture_uvs()

Set all of the uv texture mapping coordinates for a `Py5Shape` object.

## Examples

<div class="example-row"><div class="example-cell-image">

```python

## Description

Set all of the uv texture mapping coordinates for a `Py5Shape` object. This method can only be used outside the [](py5shape_begin_shape) and [](py5shape_end_shape) methods. This method is similar to but much faster than [](py5shape_set_texture_uv) when used in a `for` loop.

The uv texture coordinates define the mapping of a `Py5Shape` object's texture to the form. By default, the coordinates used for `u` and `v` are specified in relation to the image's size in pixels, but this relation can be changed with the `Py5Shape` object's [](py5shape_set_texture_mode) method.

## Signatures

```python
set_texture_uvs(
    uvs: Sequence[Sequence[float]],  # horizontal and vertical coordinates for the texture mapping
    /,
) -> None
```
