The WebGLRenderingContext.getActiveAttrib()
method of the WebGL API returns a WebGLActiveInfo
object containing size, type, and name of a vertex attribute. It is generally used when querying unknown attributes either for debugging or generic library creation.
Syntax
WebGLActiveInfo gl.getActiveAttrib(program,index);
Parameters
- program
- A
WebGLProgram
containing the vertex attribute. - index
- A
GLuint
specifying the index of the vertex attribute to get. This value is an index 0 to N - 1 as returned bygl.getProgramParameter(program, gl.ACTIVE_ATTRIBUTES)
.
Return value
A WebGLActiveInfo
object.
Examples
const numAttribs = gl.getProgramParameter(program, gl.ACTIVE_ATTRIBUTES); for (let i = 0; i < numAttribs; ++i) { const info = gl.getActiveAttrib(program, i); console.log('name:', info.name, 'type:', info.type, 'size:', info.size); }
