The WebGLRenderbuffer interface is part of the WebGL API and represents a buffer that can contain an image, or can be source or target of an rendering operation.
Description
The WebGLRenderbuffer
object does not define any methods or properties of its own and its content is not directly accessible. When working with WebGLRenderbuffer
objects, the following methods of the WebGLRenderingContext
are useful:
WebGLRenderingContext.bindRenderbuffer()
WebGLRenderingContext.createRenderbuffer()
WebGLRenderingContext.deleteRenderbuffer()
WebGLRenderingContext.isRenderbuffer()
Examples
Creating a render buffer
var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas'); var gl = canvas.getContext('webgl'); var buffer = gl.createRenderbuffer();
