WebGLTexture

The WebGLTexture interface is part of the WebGL API and represents an opaque texture object providing storage and state for texturing operations.

Description

The WebGLTexture object does not define any methods or properties of its own and its content is not directly accessible. When working with WebGLTexture objects, the following methods of the WebGLRenderingContext are useful:

• WebGLRenderingContext.bindTexture()
• WebGLRenderingContext.createTexture()
• WebGLRenderingContext.deleteTexture()
• WebGLRenderingContext.isTexture()

Examples

Creating a texture

var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
var gl = canvas.getContext('webgl');
var texture = gl.createTexture();

Specifications

Specification	Status	Comment
WebGL 1.0 The definition of 'WebGLTexture' in that specification.	Recommendation	Initial definition.

Browser compatibility

1. This feature is experimentally implemented since Firefox 44; to activate it, in about:config, set gfx.offscreencanvas.enabled to true
