collada.material.Surface

class collada.material.Surface(id, img, format=None, xmlnode=None)

Class containing data coming from a <surface> tag.

Collada materials use this to access to the <image> tag. The only extra information we store right now is the image format. In theory, this enables many more features according to the collada spec, but no one seems to actually use them in the wild, so for now, it’s unimplemented.

__init__(id, img, format=None, xmlnode=None)

Creates a surface.

Parameters:

• id (str) – A string identifier for the surface within the local scope of the material

• img (collada.material.CImage) – The image object

• format (str) – The format of the image

• xmlnode – If loaded from xml, the xml node

Methods

__init__(id, img[, format, xmlnode])	Creates a surface.
load(collada, localscope, node)	Load and return a class instance from an XML node.
save()	Saves the surface data back to xmlnode

Attributes

xmlnode	ElementTree representation of the surface.
id	The string identifier for the surface within the local scope of the material
