BitmapData#generateTexture()

Creates a new Image element by converting this BitmapDatas canvas into a dataURL.

The image is then stored in the image Cache using the key given.

Finally a PIXI.Texture is created based on the image and returned.

You can apply the texture to a sprite or any other supporting object by using either the
key or the texture. First call generateTexture:

var texture = bitmapdata.generateTexture('ball');

Then you can either apply the texture to a sprite:

game.add.sprite(0, 0, texture);

or by using the string based key:

game.add.sprite(0, 0, 'ball');
