EXT_color_buffer_half_float

The EXT_color_buffer_half_float extension is part of the WebGL API and adds the ability to render to 16-bit floating-point color buffers.

WebGL extensions are available using the WebGLRenderingContext.getExtension() method. For more information, see also Using Extensions in the WebGL tutorial.

Constants

ext.RGBA16F_EXT

RGBA 16-bit floating-point color-renderable format.

ext.RGB16F_EXT

RGB 16-bit floating-point color-renderable format.

ext.FRAMEBUFFER_ATTACHMENT_COMPONENT_TYPE_EXT

?

ext.UNSIGNED_NORMALIZED_EXT

?

Extended methods

This extension extends WebGLRenderingContext.renderbufferStorage():

• The internalformat parameter now accepts ext.RGBA16F_EXT and ext.RGBA16F_EXT.

Examples

var ext = gl.getExtension('EXT_color_buffer_half_float');

gl.renderbufferStorage(gl.RENDERBUFFER, ext.RBGA16F_EXT, 256, 256);
