Simply add a TextureProperties node to the PixelTexture node and set its magnificationFilter field to "NEAREST_PIXEL":

<PixelTexture image='2 2 3 0xFF0000 0xFFFF00 0xFFFF00 0xFF0000'>
 <TextureProperties magnificationFilter='NEAREST_PIXEL'/>
</PixelTexture>

The default value for magnificationFilter is "FASTEST". Instant Player as well as BS Contact and Octaga map that default value to "AVG_PIXEL". Xj3D and FreeWRL map it to "NEAREST_PIXEL". Neither version is wrong or flawed - it is simply not specified how to handle "FASTEST".

A fixed version of your example is attached to this email. It should give the expected result on all browsers - but I did only test it on Instant Player.

Bye,

Patrick
