A loader for loading images. The class loads images with the HTML Image API.

Please note that ImageLoader has dropped support for progress events in r84. For an ImageLoader that supports progress events, see this thread.

Code Example

const loader = new THREE.ImageLoader();
const image = await loader.loadAsync( 'image.png' );

Methods

.load( url : string, onLoad : function, onProgress : onProgressCallback, onError : onErrorCallback ) : Image

onLoad | Executed when the loading process has been finished.
onProgress | Unsupported in this loader.
onError | Executed when errors occur.
