LoaderBase

public LoaderBase(int flags)

Constructs a Loader with the specified flags word.

Method Detail

setBaseUrl

public void setBaseUrl(java.net.URL url)

This method sets the base URL name for data files associated with the file. The baseUrl should be null by default, which is an indicator to the loader that it should look for any associated files starting from the same place as the URL passed into the load(URL) method. Note: Users of setBaseUrl() would then use load(URL) as opposed to load(String).

Specified by:

setBaseUrl in interface Loader

setBasePath

public void setBasePath(java.lang.String pathName)

This method sets the base path name for data files associated with the file. The basePath should be null by default, which is an indicator to the loader that it should look for any associated files starting from the same directory as the file passed into the load(String) method. Note: Users of setBasePath() would then use load(String) as opposed to load(URL).

Specified by:

getBaseUrl

public java.net.URL getBaseUrl()

Returns the current base URL setting.

Specified by:

getBaseUrl in interface Loader

getBasePath

public java.lang.String getBasePath()

Returns the current base path setting.

setFlags

public void setFlags(int flags)

This method sets the load flags for the file. The flags should equal 0 by default (which tells the loader to only load geometry).

getFlags

public int getFlags()

Returns the current loading flags setting.
