Methods

NameDescription
canGenerateSmallPreview If this function returns true, the generator will call generate or generateFromPath for small previews as well. By default, it returns false.
generate Generate a preview from a given resource with the specified size. This must always be implemented. Returning an empty texture is an OK way to fail and let another generator take care. Care must be taken because this function is always called from a thread (not the main thread).
generateFromPath Generate a preview directly from a path with the specified size. Implementing this is optional, as default code will load and call generate. Returning an empty texture is an OK way to fail and let another generator take care. Care must be taken because this function is always called from a thread (not the main thread).
generateSmallPreviewAutomatically If this function returns true, the generator will automatically generate the small previews from the normal preview texture generated by the methods generate or generateFromPath. By default, it returns false.
handles Returns true if your generator supports the resource of type type.
