Generated using TypeDoc
ImageCacheis a singleton, so it can be used with multiple owners on a single page.This allows to have an image loaded only once for multiple views. THREE is doing something similar, but does not allow to share images that have been loaded from a canvas (which we may need to do if we use SVG images for textures).
One application that makes our own cache necessary is the generation of our own textures from data that is not an URL.
The
ImageCachecan be improved by adding statistics for memory footprint as well.
