WebGLRenderingContext.framebufferRenderbuffer

The WebGLRenderingContext.framebufferRenderbuffer() method of the WebGL API attaches a WebGLRenderbuffer object to a WebGLFramebuffer object.

Syntax

void gl.framebufferRenderbuffer(target, attachment, renderbuffertarget, renderbuffer);

Parameters

target

A GLenum specifying the binding point (target) for the framebuffer. Possible values:

• gl.FRAMEBUFFER: Collection buffer data storage of color, alpha, depth and stencil buffers used to render an image.
• When using a WebGL 2 context, the following values are available additionally:
  • gl.DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER: Equivalent to gl.FRAMEBUFFER. Used as a destination for drawing, rendering, clearing, and writing operations.
  • gl.READ_FRAMEBUFFER: Used as a source for reading operations.

attachment

A GLenum specifying the attachment point for the render buffer. Possible values:

• gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT0: color buffer.
• gl.DEPTH_ATTACHMENT: depth buffer.
• gl.DEPTH_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT: depth and stencil buffer.
• gl.STENCIL_ATTACHMENT: stencil buffer.
• When using a WebGL 2 context, the following values are available additionally:
  • gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT1
gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT2
gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT3
gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT4
gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT5
gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT6
gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT7
gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT8
gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT9
gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT10
gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT11
gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT12
gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT13
gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT14
gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT15
• When using the WEBGL_draw_buffers extension:
  • ext.COLOR_ATTACHMENT0_WEBGL (same as gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT0)
    ext.COLOR_ATTACHMENT1_WEBGL
ext.COLOR_ATTACHMENT2_WEBGL
ext.COLOR_ATTACHMENT3_WEBGL
ext.COLOR_ATTACHMENT4_WEBGL
ext.COLOR_ATTACHMENT5_WEBGL
ext.COLOR_ATTACHMENT6_WEBGL
ext.COLOR_ATTACHMENT7_WEBGL
ext.COLOR_ATTACHMENT8_WEBGL
ext.COLOR_ATTACHMENT9_WEBGL
ext.COLOR_ATTACHMENT10_WEBGL
ext.COLOR_ATTACHMENT11_WEBGL
ext.COLOR_ATTACHMENT12_WEBGL
ext.COLOR_ATTACHMENT13_WEBGL
ext.COLOR_ATTACHMENT14_WEBGL
ext.COLOR_ATTACHMENT15_WEBGL

renderbuffertarget

A GLenum specifying the binding point (target) for the render buffer. Possible values:

• gl.RENDERBUFFER: Buffer data storage for single images in a renderable internal format.

renderbuffer

A WebGLRenderbuffer object to attach.

Return value

None.

Exceptions

• A gl.INVALID_ENUM error is thrown if target is not gl.FRAMEBUFFER, gl.DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER, or gl.READ_FRAMEBUFFER.
• A gl.INVALID_ENUM error is thrown if renderbuffertarget is not gl.RENDERBUFFER.
• A gl.INVALID_ENUM error is thrown if attachment is not one of the allowed enums.

Examples

gl.framebufferRenderbuffer(gl.FRAMEBUFFER, gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, gl.RENDERBUFFER, renderbuffer);
