WebGLVertexArrayObject

The WebGLVertexArrayObject interface is part of the WebGL 2 API, represents vertex array objects (VAOs) pointing to vertex array data, and provides names for different sets of vertex data.

When working with WebGLVertexArrayObject objects, the following methods are useful:

• WebGL2RenderingContext.createVertexArray()
• WebGL2RenderingContext.deleteVertexArray()
• WebGL2RenderingContext.isVertexArray()
• WebGL2RenderingContext.bindVertexArray()

Examples

var vao = gl.createVertexArray();
gl.bindVertexArray(vao);

// ...
// calls to bindBuffer or vertexAttribPointer 
// which will be "recorded" in the VAO
// ...
