globalmapper.LoadPackage
========================

.. currentmodule:: globalmapper
.. py:function:: LoadPackage (str aFilename, GM_LoadFlags_t32 aLoadFlags) -> GM_Error_t32, GM_PackageHandle_t32

    Loads a new Global Mapper package (.gmp) file. You can also load package files with the
    :doc:`LoadLayerList<globalmapper.LoadLayerList>` command if you don't need to operate on the package as a whole.

    A handle to the package is returned as a GM_PackageHandle_t32, which will appear as a pointer. This package handle
    can be used in package-specific functions like :doc:`DrawPackageList<../display/globalmapper.DrawPackageList>`. Each
    package handle must be closed by calling :doc:`ClosePackage<globalmapper.ClosePackage>` when the caller is done
    using it.

    :param str aFilename: the package to load
    :param GM_LoadFlags_t32 aLoadFlags: control flags for loading the package
    :returns: Error Code
    :rtype: GM_Error_t32
    :retuns: The package that was loaded
    :rtype: GM_PackageHandle_t32
