    WebGL2RenderingContext.texImage3D()

    This is an experimental technology
    Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.

    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, ArrayBufferView? pixels);

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

    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.

    depth
    A GLsizei specifying the depth of the texture.
    border

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

    • 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.

    pixels
    A ArrayBufferView that can be used as a pixel source for the texture.
    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.

    [1] WebGL 2 is enabled by default in Firefox Nightly. To enable it in a release version of Firefox, set the preference webgl.enable-prototype-webgl2 to true in about:config.

    [2] To use an experimental implementation of WebGL 2 in Chrome, you have to start Chrome with the runtime flag --enable-unsafe-es3-apis.
