    public abstract class LoaderBase

extends java.lang.Object
implements Loader

This class implements the Loader interface. To use a file loader would extend this class.

Constructor Summary
`LoaderBase()` Constructs a Loader with default values for all variables.
`LoaderBase(int flags)` Constructs a Loader with the specified flags word.

Method Summary
`java.lang.String` `getBasePath()` Returns the current base path setting.
`java.net.URL` `getBaseUrl()` Returns the current base URL setting.
`int` `getFlags()` Returns the current loading flags setting.
`void` `setBasePath(java.lang.String pathName)` This method sets the base path name for data files associated with the file.

Field Detail

### loadFlags

    protected int loadFlags

  Stores the types of objects that the user wishes to load.

### baseUrl

    protected java.net.URL baseUrl

  Stores the baseUrl for data files associated with the URL passed into load(URL).

### basePath

    protected java.lang.String basePath

  Stores the basePath for data files associated with the file passed into load(String).

Constructor Detail

### LoaderBase

    public LoaderBase()

  Constructs a Loader with default values for all variables.

### 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:
    `setBasePath` in interface `Loader`

### 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.

  Specified by:
    `getBasePath` in interface `Loader`

### 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).

  Specified by:
    `setFlags` in interface `Loader`

### getFlags

    public int getFlags()

  Returns the current loading flags setting.

  Specified by:
    `getFlags` in interface `Loader`
