This is a little misleading. The given code example is correct, but it
does not attempt to reuse the ImageComponent. It creates a new image
component and assigns the new ImageComponent to the "image" variable.
Again, this will work correctly.
The answer to the original question, however, is that the Texture
object stores a reference to the ImageComponent so any change to that
ImageComponent will affect all textures that refer to it. You can't,
for example, create a single 256x256 ImageComponent and use it with
two different texture objects with two different images.
