Method Detail

loadImage

public static final Texture loadImage(java.lang.String filename)

Loads an image for use as a background, or with the texture mappers. By default, images are MEDIUM.

Parameters:

filename - A string, containing the location of the image. This can be either a full URL or relative to the applet location.

Returns:

A Texture object

See Also:

Texture, Texture.MEDIUM

loadImage

public static final Texture loadImage(java.lang.String filename,
                                      int size)

Loads an image for use as a background, or with the texture mappers. Using this version of the loadImage() method, you can specify the image size - although this will always result in a square image.

Parameters:

filename - A string, containing the location of the image. This can be either a full URL or relative to the applet location.

size - The size of the image

Returns:

A Texture object

See Also:

Texture, Texture.VLARGE, Texture.LARGE, Texture.MEDIUM, Texture.SMALL, Texture.VSMALL

loadImage

public static final Texture loadImage(java.lang.String filename,
                                      int sizex,
                                      int sizey)

Loads an image for use as a background, or with the texture mappers. Using this version of the loadImage() method, you can specify both dimensions of the image size.

Parameters:

filename - A string, containing the location of the image. This can be either a full URL or relative to the applet location.

sizex - The x size of the image

sizey - The y size of the image

Returns:

A Texture object

See Also:

Texture, Texture.VLARGE, Texture.LARGE, Texture.MEDIUM, Texture.SMALL, Texture.VSMALL

loadImage

public static final Texture loadImage(java.awt.Image im)

Loads an image for use as a background, or with the texture mappers. By default, images are MEDIUM. This version of loadImage() allows you to get a handle on this image in your own way - it takes an Image as a parameter.

Parameters:

im - An Image

Returns:

A Texture object

See Also:

Texture, Texture.MEDIUM

loadImage

public static final Texture loadImage(java.awt.Image im,
                                      int size)

This version of loadImage() allows you to get a handle on this image in your own way - it takes an Image as a parameter.

Parameters:

im - An Image

size - The size of the image

Returns:

A Texture object

loadImage

public static final Texture loadImage(java.awt.Image im,
                                      int sizex,
                                      int sizey)

Loads an image for use as a background, or with the texture mappers. Using this version of the loadImage() method, you can specify both dimensions of the image size. This version of loadImage() allows you to get a handle on this image in your own way - it takes an Image as a parameter.

Parameters:
