+== Hints for generating a textured sphere ==
+As there are some bugs in !ParaView, a nice looking textured sphere must be defined as follows:
+* Don't set the !EndTheta of the sphere to 360. Instead use a little bit lower value: "sphere.!EndTheta = 359.9999"
+* To use a texture, the !TextureMaptoSphere filter must be attached to the sphere via "textureMaptoSphere = !TextureMaptoSphere(Input=sphere)". To work correctly, the !PreventSeam attribute has to be disabled: "textureMaptoSphere.!PreventSeam = 0"
+* here is how to attach a texture image to the sphere (tested with !ParaView 5.5):
+{{{
+#!python
+textureMaptoSphere = TextureMaptoSphere(Input=sphere)
+textureMaptoSphere.PreventSeam = 0
+textureMaptoSphereDisplay = Show(textureMaptoSphere, renderView)
+textureMaptoSphereDisplay.Representation = 'Surface'
+texProxy = servermanager.CreateProxy("textures", "ImageTexture")
+texProxy.GetProperty("FileName").SetElement(0, "./images_earth/earth_heller_transformed.jpg")
+texProxy.UpdateVTKObjects()
+textureMaptoSphereDisplay.Texture = texProxy
+}}}
