 * These functions allow high-level textures to be created that

 *              from.
 *
 * Creates a high-level #CoglSubTexture representing a sub-region of

 * bounds of the @parent_texture. The returned texture implements the

 * #CoglMetaTexture interface then you need to use the
 * #CoglMetaTexture interface to resolve a #CoglSubTexture into a
 * low-level texture before drawing.</note>
