What order do I call glActiveTexture and glBindTexture

Question

I am wondering about when I have a texture named tex which I create with glBindTexture(...) and glTexImage2D(...).

If I want to bind it to a specific texture unit, when do I call glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0); ?

Answer 1

All texture state functions operate on the current texture unit, so first you call glActiveTexture, then glBindTexture and friends.
