<viz>.addTextureFromBuffer

filename

Filename associated with the buffer. The extension of the filename will tell Vizard what image format the buffer provides (jpg, gif, bmp, etc..)

buffer

Buffer containing the image file data or one of the following buffer flags:

Buffer flags
viz.BUFFER_MMAP	Load buffer through a memory mapped file. This can be used in cluster mode to have the master transfer the file contents to the clients at runtime.

flags = 0

Can include any combination of the following load flags:

Load Flag	Description
viz.LOAD_ASYNC	Load the texture asynchronously. See remarks below.

Remarks

This command will load a texture using data from memory, instead of a file. The filename must contain the same extension as the format the buffer represents.

If the viz.LOAD_ASYNC flag is set, the texture will be loaded asynchronously. In this case, the command will return immediately with a valid texture handle. The status of the async operation can be queried using the <texture>.getAsyncStatus command. When the async operation completes, due to either success or failure, a viz.ASYNC_EVENT will be triggered. The <vizact>.onAsyncLoad or <viztask>.waitAsyncLoad commands can be used to automatically process this event for a specified texture.
