/**
* {@link Viewer} plugin that loads models from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STL_(file_format)">STL</a> files.
*
* ## Overview
*
* * Creates an {@link Entity} representing each model it loads, which will have {@link Entity#isModel} set ````true```` and will be registered by {@link Entity#id} in {@link Scene#models}.
* * Creates an {@link Entity} for each object within the model, which will have {@link Entity#isObject} set ````true```` and will be registered by {@link Entity#id} in {@link Scene#objects}.
* * When loading, can set the World-space position, scale and rotation of each model within World space, along with initial properties for all the model's {@link Entity}s.
* * Supports both binary and ASCII formats.
*
* ## Smoothing STL Normals
*
* STL models are normally flat-shaded, however providing a ````smoothNormals```` parameter when loading gives a smooth
* appearance. Triangles in STL are disjoint, where each triangle has its own separate vertex positions, normals and
* (optionally) colors. This means that you can have gaps between triangles in an STL model. Normals for each triangle
* are perpendicular to the triangle's surface, which gives the model a faceted appearance by default.
*
* The ```smoothNormals``` parameter causes the plugin to recalculate the STL normals, so that each normal's direction is
* the average of the orientations of the triangles adjacent to its vertex. When smoothing, each vertex normal is set to
* the average of the orientations of all other triangles that have a vertex at the same position, excluding those triangles
* whose direction deviates from the direction of the vertice's triangle by a threshold given in
* the ````smoothNormalsAngleThreshold```` loading parameter. This makes smoothing robust for hard edges.
*
* ## Creating Entities for Objects
*
* An STL model is normally a single mesh, however providing a ````splitMeshes```` parameter when loading
* will create a separate object {@link Entity} for each group of faces that share the same vertex colors. This option
* only works with binary STL files.
*
* See the {@link STLLoaderPlugin#load} method for more info on loading options.
*
* ## Usage
*
* In the example below, we'll use an STLLoaderPlugin to load an STL model of a spur gear. When the model has loaded,
* we'll use the {@link CameraFlightAnimation} to fly the {@link Camera} to look at boundary of the model. We'll
* then get the model's {@link Entity} from the {@link Scene} and highlight the whole model.
*
* * [[Run this example](https://xeokit.github.io/xeokit-sdk/examples/#loading_STL_SpurGear)]
*
* ````javascript
* // Create a xeokit Viewer
* const viewer = new Viewer({
* canvasId: "myCanvas"
* });
*
* // Add an STLLoaderPlugin to the Viewer
* var plugin = new STLLoaderPlugin(viewer, {
* id: "STLModels" // Default value
* });
*
* // We can also get the plugin by its ID on the Viewer
* plugin = viewer.plugins.STLModels;
*
* // Load the STL model
* var model = plugin.load({ // Model is an Entity
* id: "myModel",
* src: "./models/stl/binary/spurGear.stl",
* scale: [0.1, 0.1, 0.1],
* rotate: [90, 0, 0],
* translate: [100,0,0],
* edges: true,
* smoothNormals: true, // Default
* smoothNormalsAngleThreshold: 20, // Default
* splitMeshes: true // Default
* });
*
* // When the model has loaded, fit it to view
* model.on("loaded", function() { // Model is an Entity
* viewer.cameraFlight.flyTo(model);
* });
*
* // Find the model Entity by ID
* model = viewer.scene.models["myModel"];
*
* // Update properties of the model Entity
* model.highlight = [1,0,0];
*
* // Destroy the model Entity
* model.destroy();
* ````
