Creates a new Texture2DSliced texture based on data residing in memory.
A Texture2DSliced may internally be comprised of 1 or more Texture2D textures depending on GPU limitations. For example if the GPU only supports power-of-two sized textures then a sliced texture will turn a non-power-of-two size into a combination of smaller power-of-two sized textures. If the requested texture size is larger than is supported by the hardware then the texture will be sliced into smaller textures that can be accessed by the hardware.
max_waste is used as a threshold for recursively slicing the right-most or bottom-most slices into smaller sizes until the
wasted padding at the bottom and right of the textures is less than specified. A negative max_waste will disable slicing.
<note>This api will always immediately allocate GPU memory for all the required texture slices and upload the given data so that
the data pointer does not need to remain valid once this function returns. This means it is not possible to configure the
texture before it is allocated. If you do need to configure the texture before allocation (to specify constraints on the internal format
for example) then you can instead create a Bitmap for your data and use
Texture2DSliced.from_bitmap or use
Texture2DSliced.with_size and then upload data
using set_data</note>
<note>It's possible for the allocation of a sliced texture to fail due to impossible slicing constraints if a negative
max_waste value is given. If the given virtual texture size is larger than is supported by the hardware but slicing is disabled
the texture size would be too large to handle.</note>
