'''
Asynchronous data loader
========================
This is the Asynchronous Loader. You can use it to load an image
and use it, even if data are not yet available. You must specify a default
loading image when using the loader::
from kivy.loader import Loader
image = Loader.image('mysprite.png')
You can also load an image from a url::
image = Loader.image('http://mysite.com/test.png')
If you want to change the default loading image, you can do::
Loader.loading_image = Image('another_loading.png')
Tweaking the asynchronous loader
--------------------------------
.. versionadded:: 1.6.0
You can tweak the loader to provide a better user experience or more
performance, depending of the images you are going to load. Take a look at the
parameters:
- :attr:`Loader.num_workers` - define the number of threads to start for
loading images.
- :attr:`Loader.max_upload_per_frame` - define the maximum image uploads in
GPU to do per frame.

If you are loading multiple full HD images, the upload time may have
consequences and block the application. If you want a
smooth experience, use the default.
As a matter of fact, a Full-HD RGB image will take ~6MB in memory,
so it may take time. If you have activated mipmap=True too, then the
GPU must calculate the mipmap of these big images too, in real time.
Then it may be best to reduce the :attr:`max_upload_per_frame` to 1
or 2. If you want to get rid of that (or reduce it a lot), take a
look at the DDS format.
