 *
 * Description: A THREE loader for STL ASCII files, as created by Solidworks and other CAD programs.
 *
 * Supports both binary and ASCII encoded files, with automatic detection of type.
 *
 * The loader returns a non-indexed buffer geometry.
 *
 * Limitations:
 *  Binary decoding supports "Magics" color format (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STL_(file_format)#Color_in_binary_STL).
 *  There is perhaps some question as to how valid it is to always assume little-endian-ness.
 *  ASCII decoding assumes file is UTF-8.
 *
 * Usage:
 *  var loader = new THREE.STLLoader();
 *  loader.load( './models/stl/slotted_disk.stl', function ( geometry ) {
 *    scene.add( new THREE.Mesh( geometry ) );
 *  });
 *
 * For binary STLs geometry might contain colors for vertices. To use it:
 *  // use the same code to load STL as above
 *  if (geometry.hasColors) {
 *    material = new THREE.MeshPhongMaterial({ opacity: geometry.alpha, vertexColors: THREE.VertexColors });
 *  } else { .... }
 *  var mesh = new THREE.Mesh( geometry, material );
