The WebGL2RenderingContext.invalidateSubFramebuffer() method of the WebGL 2 API invalidates portions of the contents of attachments in a framebuffer.
Syntax
void gl.invalidateSubFramebuffer(target, attachments, x, y, width, height);
Parameters
target- A
GLenumspecifying the binding point (target). Possible values:gl.FRAMEBUFFER: Collection buffer data storage of color, alpha, depth and stencil buffers used to render an image.gl.DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER: Equivalent togl.FRAMEBUFFER.gl.READ_FRAMEBUFFER: Used as a source for reading operations.
attachments- An
ArrayofGLenumspecifying the attachment points to invalidate. Possible values:gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT{0-15}: Invalidates one of the framebuffer's color buffers.gl.DEPTH_ATTACHMENT: Invalidates the framebuffer's depth buffer.gl.STENCIL_ATTACHMENT: Invalidates the framebuffer's stencil buffer.gl.DEPTH_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT: Invalidates both the framebuffer's depth and stencil buffer.
x- A
GLintspecifying the left origin of the pixel rectangle to invalidate. y- A
GLintspecifying the bottom origin of the pixel rectangle to invalidate. width- A
GLsizeispecifying the width of the pixel rectangle to invalidate. height- A
GLsizeispecifying the height of the pixel rectangle to invalidate.
Return value
None.
Examples
gl.invalidateSubFramebuffer(gl.READ_FRAMEBUFFER,
[gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT1],
0, 0, 256, 256);
