## Import LoomExperiment from LoomFile

### Description

Imports a `LoomExperiment` from a `LoomFile`. Note the `colGraph` and `rowGraph` contained within the 0-indexed loom file will be converted to the 1-indexed represnetation in the resulting `LoomExperiment` object.

### Usage

    ## S4 method for signature 'LoomFile,ANY,ANY'
    import(con, ...,
        type = c("SingleCellLoomExperiment", "LoomExperiment", "RangedLoomExperiment"),
        rownames_attr=NULL, colnames_attr=NULL)

### Arguments

`con` | A character indicating the loom file to be created. File must have the `.loom` extension.
`...` | Additional arguments
`type` | Either "SingleCellLoomExperiment", "LoomExperiment", or "RangedLoomExperiment". This value decides what type of object that will be returned by `import`. If left empty `import` will either determine what type of class should be used by the context of the file. If it cannot be determined, the `LoomExperiment` type will default to `SingleCellLoomExperiment`.
`rownames_attr` | A `character vector` indicating the name of the `rowData` attribute to represent the names `rownames` in the `LoomExperiment` object.
`colnames_attr` | A `character vector` indicating the name of the `colData` attribute to represent the names `colnames` in the `LoomExperiment` object.

### Value

An object of class `LoomExperiment`
