Algosim documentation: LoadFromFile

LoadFromFile

Obtains data from a file-system file.

Syntax

Description

If fn is a fully-qualified file name, then LoadFromFile(fn) loads this file into an Algosim object which is returned. The type of the object is determined by the extension of fn. For instance, a file ending in .txt will be loaded into a string object, while a file ending in .png will be loaded into a pixmap object.

LoadFromFile(fn, ct), where ct is a string with an object class name, will load fn into a ct object, irrespective of the extension of fn.
