WebGL2RenderingContext.compressedTexSubImage3D()

This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

The WebGL2RenderingContext.compressedTexSubImage3D() method of the WebGL API specifies a three-dimensional sub-rectangle for a texture image in a compressed format.

Syntax

// read from the buffer bound to gl.PIXEL_UNPACK_BUFFER
void gl.compressedTexSubImage3D(target, level, xoffset, yoffset, zoffset, width, height, depth, format, imageSize, offset);

void gl.compressedTexSubImage3D(target, level, xoffset, yoffset, zoffset, width, height, depth, format, ArrayBufferView srcData, optional srcOffset, optional srcLengthOverride);

Parameters

target
A GLenum specifying the binding point (target) of the active texture. Possible values:
  • gl.TEXTURE_3D: A three-dimensional texture.
  • gl.TEXTURE_2D_ARRAY: A two-dimensional array texture.
level
A GLint specifying the level of detail. Level 0 is the base image level and level n is the nth mipmap reduction level.
xoffset
A GLint specifying the x offset within the compressed texture image.
yoffset
A GLint specifying the y offset within the compressed texture image.
zoffset
A GLint specifying the z offset within the compressed texture image.
width
A GLsizei specifying the width of the texture.
height
A GLsizei specifying the height of the texture.
depth
A GLsizei specifying the depth of the texture.
format
A GLenum specifying the compressed image format. Possible values:
  • gl.COMPRESSED_R11_EAC
  • gl.COMPRESSED_SIGNED_R11_EAC
  • gl.COMPRESSED_RG11_EAC
  • gl.COMPRESSED_SIGNED_RG11_EAC
  • gl.COMPRESSED_RGB8_ETC2
  • gl.COMPRESSED_RGBA8_ETC2_EAC
  • gl.COMPRESSED_SRGB8_ETC2
  • gl.COMPRESSED_SRGB8_ALPHA8_ETC2_EAC
  • gl.COMPRESSED_RGB8_PUNCHTHROUGH_ALPHA1_ETC2
  • gl.COMPRESSED_SRGB8_PUNCHTHROUGH_ALPHA1_ETC2
imageSize
A GLint specifying the number of bytes to read from the buffer bound to gl.PIXEL_UNPACK_BUFFER.
offset
A GLint specifying the offset in bytes from which to read from the buffer bound to gl.PIXEL_UNPACK_BUFFER.
srcData
An ArrayBufferView that be used as a data store for the compressed image data in memory.

Return value

None.

Examples

gl.compressedTexSubImage3D(gl.TEXTURE_3D, 0, 0, 0, 512, 512, 512, gl.COMPRESSED_R11_EAC, textureData);
