collada.Collada¶

class collada.Collada(filename=None, ignore=None, aux_file_loader=None, zip_filename=None, validate_output=False)¶

This is the main class used to create and load collada documents

__init__(filename=None, ignore=None, aux_file_loader=None, zip_filename=None, validate_output=False)¶

Load collada data from filename or file like object.

Parameters:

filename – String containing path to filename to open or file-like object. Uncompressed .dae files are supported, as well as zip file archives. If this is set to None, a new collada instance is created.
ignore (list) – A list of common.DaeError types that should be ignored when loading the collada document. Instances of these types will be added to errors after loading but won’t be raised. Only used if filename is not None.
aux_file_loader (function) – Referenced files (e.g. texture images) are loaded from disk when reading from the local filesystem and from the zip archive when loading from a zip file. If these files are coming from another source (e.g. database) and/or you’re loading with StringIO, set this to a function that given a filename, returns the binary data in the file. If filename is None, you must set this parameter if you want to load auxiliary files.
zip_filename (str) – If the file being loaded is a zip archive, you can set this parameter to indicate the file within the archive that should be loaded. If not set, a file that ends with .dae will be searched.
validate_output (bool) – If set to True, the XML written when calling save() will be validated against the COLLADA 1.4.1 schema. If validation fails, the common.DaeSaveValidationError exception will be thrown.
