WebGLRenderingContext: getBufferParameter() method

target

A GLenum specifying the target buffer object. Possible values:

gl.ARRAY_BUFFER

Buffer containing vertex attributes, such as vertex coordinates, texture coordinate data, or vertex color data.

gl.ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER

Buffer used for element indices.

When using a WebGL 2 context, the following values are available additionally:

gl.COPY_READ_BUFFER

Buffer for copying from one buffer object to another.

gl.COPY_WRITE_BUFFER

Buffer for copying from one buffer object to another.

gl.TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_BUFFER

Buffer for transform feedback operations.

gl.UNIFORM_BUFFER

Buffer used for storing uniform blocks.

gl.PIXEL_PACK_BUFFER

Buffer used for pixel transfer operations.

gl.PIXEL_UNPACK_BUFFER

Buffer used for pixel transfer operations.

pname

A GLenum specifying information to query. Possible values:

gl.BUFFER_SIZE

Returns a GLint indicating the size of the buffer in bytes.

gl.BUFFER_USAGE

Returns a GLenum indicating the usage pattern of the buffer. One of the following:

• gl.STATIC_DRAW
• gl.DYNAMIC_DRAW
• gl.STREAM_DRAW

When using a WebGL 2 context, the following values are available additionally:

• gl.STATIC_READ
• gl.DYNAMIC_READ
• gl.STREAM_READ
• gl.STATIC_COPY
• gl.DYNAMIC_COPY
• gl.STREAM_COPY

Depends on the requested information (as specified with pname). Either a GLint or a GLenum.

• WebGLRenderingContext.bindBuffer()
• WebGLRenderingContext.createBuffer()
• WebGLRenderingContext.deleteBuffer()
• WebGLRenderingContext.bufferData()
• Other buffers: WebGLFramebuffer, WebGLRenderbuffer
