Class TextureLoader

java.lang.Object

com.sun.j3d.utils.image.TextureLoader

public class TextureLoader
extends Object

This class is used for loading a texture from an Image or BufferedImage. The Image I/O API is used to load the images. (If the JAI IIO Tools package is available, a larger set of formats can be loaded, including TIFF, JPEG2000, and so on.) Methods are provided to retrieve the Texture object and the associated ImageComponent object or a scaled version of the ImageComponent object. Default format is RGBA. Other legal formats are: RGBA, RGBA4, RGB5_A1, RGB, RGB4, RGB5, R3_G3_B2, LUM8_ALPHA8, LUM4_ALPHA4, LUMINANCE and ALPHA

Field Summary

Fields

Modifier and Type	Field and Description
static int	ALLOW_NON_POWER_OF_TWO Optional flag - specifies that the ImageComponent2D is allowed to have dimensions that are not a power of two.
static int	BY_REFERENCE Optional flag - specifies that the ImageComponent2D will access the image data by reference
static int	GENERATE_MIPMAP Optional flag - specifies that mipmaps are generated for all levels

Field Detail

GENERATE_MIPMAP

public static final int GENERATE_MIPMAP

Optional flag - specifies that mipmaps are generated for all levels

Constant Field Values

BY_REFERENCE

public static final int BY_REFERENCE

Optional flag - specifies that the ImageComponent2D will access the image data by reference

Since:

Java 3D 1.2

Constant Field Values

Y_UP

public static final int Y_UP

Optional flag - specifies that the ImageComponent2D will have a y-orientation of y up, meaning the origin of the image is the lower left

Since:

Java 3D 1.2

See Also:

Constant Field Values

ALLOW_NON_POWER_OF_TWO

public static final int ALLOW_NON_POWER_OF_TWO

Optional flag - specifies that the ImageComponent2D is allowed to have dimensions that are not a power of two. If this flag is set, TextureLoader will not perform any scaling of images. If this flag is not set, images will be scaled to the nearest power of two. This is the default mode.

Note that non-power-of-two textures may not be supported by all graphics cards. Applications should check whether a particular Canvas3D supports non-power-of-two textures by calling the Canvas3D.queryProperties() method, and checking whether the textureNonPowerOfTwoAvailable property is set to true.

Since:

Java 3D 1.5
