WebGL2RenderingContext.texImage3D

The WebGLRenderingContext.texImage3D() method of the WebGL API specifies a three-dimensional texture image.

Syntax

void gl.texImage3D(target, level, internalformat, width, height, depth, border, format, type, GLintptr offset); 

void gl.texImage3D(target, level, internalformat, width, height, depth, border, format, type, HTMLCanvasElement source);
void gl.texImage3D(target, level, internalformat, width, height, depth, border, format, type, HTMLImageElement source); 
void gl.texImage3D(target, level, internalformat, width, height, depth, border, format, type, HTMLVideoElement source); 
void gl.texImage3D(target, level, internalformat, width, height, depth, border, format, type, ImageBitmap source); 
void gl.texImage3D(target, level, internalformat, width, height, depth, border, format, type, ImageData source); 
void gl.texImage3D(target, level, internalformat, width, height, depth, border, format, type, ArrayBufferView? srcData);
void gl.texImage3D(target, level, internalformat, width, height, depth, border, format, type, ArrayBufferView srcData, srcOffset);

Parameters

target

A GLenum specifying the binding point (target) of the active texture. Possible values:

• gl.TEXTURE_3D: A three-dimensional texture.
• gl.TEXTURE_2D_ARRAY: A two-dimensional array texture.

level

A GLint specifying the level of detail. Level 0 is the base image level and level n is the nth mipmap reduction level.

internalformat

A GLint specifying the color components in the texture. Possible values:

• gl.ALPHA: Discards the red, green and blue components and reads the alpha component.
• gl.RGB: Discards the alpha components and reads the red, green and blue components.
• gl.RGBA: Red, green, blue and alpha components are read from the color buffer.
• gl.LUMINANCE: Each color component is a luminance component, alpha is 1.0.
• gl.LUMINANCE_ALPHA: Each component is a luminance/alpha component.
• gl.R8
• gl.R16F
• gl.R32F

format

A GLenum specifying the format of the texel data. The correct combinations with internalformat are listed in this table.

type

A GLenum specifying the data type of the texel data. Possible values:

• gl.UNSIGNED_SHORT_5_6_5: 5 red bits, 6 green bits, 5 blue bits.
• gl.UNSIGNED_SHORT_4_4_4_4: 4 red bits, 4 green bits, 4 blue bits, 4 alpha bits.
• gl.UNSIGNED_SHORT_5_5_5_1: 5 red bits, 5 green bits, 5 blue bits, 1 alpha bit.
• gl.BYTE
• gl.UNSIGNED_SHORT
• gl.SHORT
• gl.UNSIGNED_INT
• gl.INT
• gl.HALF_FLOAT
• gl.FLOAT
• gl.UNSIGNED_INT_2_10_10_10_REV
• gl.UNSIGNED_INT_10F_11F_11F_REV
• gl.UNSIGNED_INT_5_9_9_9_REV
• gl.UNSIGNED_INT_24_8
• gl.FLOAT_32_UNSIGNED_INT_24_8_REV (pixels must be null)

source

One of the following objects can be used as a pixel source for the texture:

• ArrayBufferView,
• ImageBitmap,
• ImageData,
• HTMLImageElement,
• HTMLCanvasElement,
• HTMLVideoElement.

offset

A GLintptr byte offset into the WebGLBuffer's data store. Used to upload data to the currently bound WebGLTexture from the WebGLBuffer bound to the PIXEL_UNPACK_BUFFER target.

Return value

None.

              0,                                          // level
              gl.RGBA,                                    // internalFormat
              1,                                          // width
              1,                                          // height
