Class TextureHandler

java.lang.Object
  gizmoball.graphics.TextureHandler

public class TextureHandler
extends java.lang.Object

A class to handle using OpenGL textures. It can use textures from files, or create textures from colors. The textures are applied to the current OpenGL context. It caches textures, so changing files around while the program is running will not update the textures. Using more than one TextureHandler at once can lead to bad results. It does not have any observable state.
