WebGL2RenderingContext.blitFramebuffer

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

The WebGL2RenderingContext.blitFramebuffer() method of the WebGL 2 API transfers a block of pixels from the read framebuffer to the draw framebuffer.

Syntax

void gl.blitFramebuffer(srcX0, srcY0, srcX1, srcY1,
                        dstX0, dstY0, dstX1, dstY1,
                        mask, filter);

Parameters

srcX0, srcY0, srcX1, srcY1
A GLint specifying the bounds of the source rectangle.
dstX0, dstY0, dstX1, dstY1
A GLint specifying the bounds of the destination rectangle.
mask
A GLbitfield specifying a bitwise OR mask indicating which buffers are to be copied. Possible values:
  • gl.COLOR_BUFFER_BIT
  • gl.DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT
  • gl.STENCIL_BUFFER_BIT
filter
A GLenum specifying the interpolation to be applied if the image is stretched. Possible values:
  • gl.NEAREST
  • gl.LINEAR

Return value

None.

Examples

gl.blitFramebuffer(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height,
                   0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height,
                   gl.COLOR_BUFFER_BIT, gl.NEAREST);
