WebGLBufferWrapper

Wrapper for a WebGL buffer, containing all the information that was used

to create it. This can be a VertexBuffer or IndexBuffer.

A WebGLBuffer should never be exposed outside the WebGLRenderer, so the

WebGLRenderer can handle context loss and other events without other

systems having to be aware of it. Always use WebGLBufferWrapper instead.

Constructor

new WebGLBufferWrapper(renderer, dataBuffer, bufferType, bufferUsage)

Parameters

nametypeoptionaldescription
rendererPhaser.Renderer.WebGL.WebGLRendererNoThe WebGLRenderer instance that owns this wrapper.
dataBufferArrayBufferNoAn ArrayBuffer of data to store. The buffer will be permanently associated with this data.
bufferTypeGLenumNoThe type of the buffer being created.
bufferUsageGLenumNoThe usage of the buffer being created. gl.DYNAMIC_DRAW, gl.STATIC_DRAW or gl.STREAM_DRAW.

Public Members

bufferType

bufferType: GLenum

Description:

The type of the buffer.

Source: src/renderer/webgl/wrappers/WebGLBufferWrapper.js#L116
Since: 3.80.0


bufferUsage

bufferUsage: GLenum

Description:

The usage of the buffer. gl.DYNAMIC_DRAW, gl.STATIC_DRAW or gl.STREAM_DRAW.

Source: src/renderer/webgl/wrappers/WebGLBufferWrapper.js#L125
Since: 3.80.0


dataBuffer

dataBuffer: ArrayBuffer

Description:

The data associated with the buffer.

Note that this will be used to recreate the buffer if the WebGL context is lost.

Since: 4.0.0


renderer

renderer: Phaser.Renderer.WebGL.WebGLRenderer

Description:

The WebGLRenderer instance that owns this wrapper.

Source: src/renderer/webgl/wrappers/WebGLBufferWrapper.js#L34
Since: 4.0.0


viewF32

viewF32: Float32Array, null

Description:

A Float32Array view of the dataBuffer.

This will be null if the byte length of the dataBuffer

is not divisible by Float32Array.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT (4).

Such a buffer is only suited for use with 16-bit indices.

Since: 4.0.0


viewU16

viewU16: Uint16Array, null

Description:

A Uint16Array view of the dataBuffer.

This will be null if the byte length of the dataBuffer

is not divisible by Uint16Array.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT (2).

Such a buffer is only suited for use with byte data.

Source: src/renderer/webgl/wrappers/WebGLBufferWrapper.js#L90
Since: 4.0.0


viewU32

viewU32: Uint32Array, null

Description:

A Uint32Array view of the dataBuffer.

This will be null if the byte length of the dataBuffer

is not divisible by Uint32Array.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT (4).

Such a buffer is only suited for use with 16-bit indices.

Source: src/renderer/webgl/wrappers/WebGLBufferWrapper.js#L103

viewU8

viewU8: Uint8Array

Description:

A Uint8Array view of the dataBuffer.

Source: src/renderer/webgl/wrappers/WebGLBufferWrapper.js#L81
Since: 4.0.0


webGLBuffer

webGLBuffer: WebGLBuffer

Description:

The WebGLBuffer being wrapped by this class.

This property could change at any time.

Therefore, you should never store a reference to this value.

It should only be passed directly to the WebGL API for drawing.

Source: src/renderer/webgl/wrappers/WebGLBufferWrapper.js#L43
Since: 3.80.0


Public Methods

bind

<instance> bind([unbind])

Description:

Binds this WebGLBufferWrapper to the current WebGLRenderingContext.

It uses the bufferType of this wrapper to determine which binding point to use.

Parameters:

nametypeoptionaldefaultdescription
unbindbooleanYesfalseWhether to unbind the buffer instead.

Source: src/renderer/webgl/wrappers/WebGLBufferWrapper.js#L162
Since: 4.0.0


createResource

<instance> createResource()

Description:

Creates a WebGLBuffer for this WebGLBufferWrapper.

This is called automatically by the constructor. It may also be

called again if the WebGLBuffer needs re-creating.

Source: src/renderer/webgl/wrappers/WebGLBufferWrapper.js#L139
Since: 3.80.0


destroy

<instance> destroy()

Description:

Remove this WebGLBufferWrapper from the GL context.

Source: src/renderer/webgl/wrappers/WebGLBufferWrapper.js#L284
Since: 3.80.0


resize

<instance> resize(bytes)

Description:

Resizes the dataBuffer of this WebGLBufferWrapper.

This will recreate dataBuffer and the views into it.

All data will be lost.

All views into dataBuffer will be destroyed and recreated.

Parameters:

nametypeoptionaldescription
bytesnumberNoThe new size of the buffer in bytes.

Source: src/renderer/webgl/wrappers/WebGLBufferWrapper.js#L229
Since: 4.0.0


update

<instance> update([bytes], [offset])

Description:

Updates the data in this WebGLBufferWrapper.

The dataBuffer must contain the new data to be uploaded to the GPU.

Data will preserve its range from dataBuffer to the WebGLBuffer.

Parameters:

nametypeoptionaldefaultdescription
bytesnumberYesThe number of bytes to update in the buffer. If not specified, the entire buffer will be updated.
offsetnumberYes0The offset into the buffer to start updating data at.
