Affixing a 2D image plot to a surface in Gizmo

I have Igor 6.22A. I have a topographic surface plotted in Gizmo from a 2D wave that I would like to put a texture on to provide the coloring. I would like the texture to match an image plot I also have. The image plot is of a 2D wave where the color of the plot is from a standard color table. I know how to put a texture on if it comes from a .jpeg mainly because I have a recreation macro that does it, so perhaps I just need a way to convert the image plot area into a jpeg.

As an aside, in the tutorial video on textures, the info window object list pulldown menu has the option to create a new group object, but I don't have that option. Is there a reason this is the case?

After getting a phone explanation, my problem is solved, and without textures.

I had to use:
imageinterpolate/resl={512,512} bilinear imageplotwavename
to resample the wave data to the same X-Y dimensions as the topo surface

modifygizmo makecolorwave={M_interpolatedimage,Rainbow,0}
to map the interpolated wave "M_interpolatedimage" onto a colortable, which becomes the color wave M_interpolatedimage_C

This can then be selected under Surface0 (or whatever) in the Gizmo Info Window as Surface Color/Color from Wave.

Type this command to show that and other advanced options:

ModifyGizmo userlevel=9
