Input/output

The IlvManager class has a set of methods to read and write graphic object descriptions to a file. Manager properties, such as the layer or name of an object, can also be read and written.
Important
The recommended way to serialize any IlvManager object is through IVL serialization and not Java serialization. Serialization cannot work for managers that contain graphic objects such as IlvIcon or some other classes, since these classes manage internally Java SE objects that are not serializable.
