## Description

Ascii format is a plain text format to store elements and their position. The first line is a commentary and is not read. Then, the next two lines must contains each three numbers, describing the box containing the data. The first number is the length on x direction. The next two numbers are on one hand the component on the same x direction and on the other hand the other component on a direction orthogonal to the x direction, setting thus the y direction. The three other numbers are the component of the z direction on first, the x direction, then the y direction and finally in a direction orthogonal both to x and y directions. After these three first lines, all other lines can be blank, beginning with a '#' character or containing three numbers and a label name for the element.

Some public methods here have been put for other loader which wants to share the code of this loader (see the XYZ loader for instance).

## Details

### visu_meth_asciiFree ()

    void                visu_meth_asciiFree                 (gpointer data);

This method is used to free an allocated stuct VisuMethAscii, and can be used as a destructor when creating an hashtable with such datas.

`data` : | a pointer to stuct VisuMethAscii instances.

### visu_meth_asciiValToType ()

    void                visu_meth_asciiValToType            (gpointer key,
                                                             gpointer value,
                                                             gpointer data);

This method is used in a `g_hash_table_foreach()` method that work on `data`. `data` is an array of pointers to VisuElement and this method puts its nth value to point to `key`. The value nth is read from the `pos` attribute of the structure object pointed by `value`.

`key` : | a VisuElement pointer ;
`value` : | a struct VisuMethAscii pointer ;
`data` : | a pointer on array of pointers of VisuElement.

### visu_meth_asciiValToNb ()

    void                visu_meth_asciiValToNb              (gpointer key,
                                                             gpointer value,
                                                             gpointer data);

This method is used in a `g_hash_table_foreach()` method that work on `data`. `data` is an array of int and this method puts its nth value to the value read from the `nbNodes` attribute of the structure object pointed by `value`.

`key` : | a VisuElement pointer ;
`value` : | a struct VisuMethAscii pointer ;
`data` : | a pointer on array of int.

### initAtomicAscii ()

    void                initAtomicAscii                     (VisuRendering *method);
