Methods

destroy() → {undefined}

Destroys the WebGL resources held by this object. Destroying an object allows for deterministic release of WebGL resources, instead of relying on the garbage collector to destroy this object.

Once an object is destroyed, it should not be used; calling any function other than isDestroyed will result in a DeveloperError exception. Therefore, assign the return value (undefined) to the object as done in the example.

Throws:
This object was destroyed, i.e., destroy() was called.
Type
DeveloperError
Returns:
Type
undefined
Example

isDestroyed() → {Boolean}
