WebGL2RenderingContext.renderbufferStorageMultisample

The WebGL2RenderingContext.renderbufferStorageMultisample() method of the WebGL 2 API returns creates and initializes a renderbuffer object's data store and allows specifying a number of samples to be used.

Syntax

void gl.renderbufferStorageMultisample(target, samples, internalFormat, width, height);

Parameters

target

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

samples

• gl.R8UI
• gl.R8I
• gl.R16UI
• gl.R16I
• gl.R32UI
• gl.R32I
• gl.RG8

width

A GLsizei specifying the width of the renderbuffer in pixels.

height

A GLsizei specifying the height of the renderbuffer in pixels.

Return value

None.

Examples

gl.renderbufferStorageMultisample(gl.RENDERBUFFER, 4, gl.RBGA4, 256, 256);
