WebGLRenderingContext: getVertexAttrib() method
The WebGLRenderingContext.getVertexAttrib() method of the
WebGL API returns information about a vertex
attribute at a given position.
Syntax
getVertexAttrib(index, pname)
Parameters
index-
A
GLuintspecifying the index of the vertex attribute. pname-
A
GLenumspecifying the information to query. Possible values:gl.VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_BUFFER_BINDING-
Returns the currently bound
WebGLBuffer. gl.VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_ENABLED-
Returns a
GLbooleanthat istrueif the vertex attribute is enabled at thisindex. Otherwisefalse. gl.VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_SIZE-
Returns a
GLintindicating the size of an element of the vertex array. gl.VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_STRIDE-
Returns a
GLintindicating the number of bytes between successive elements in the array. 0 means that the elements are sequential. gl.VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_TYPE-
Returns a
GLenumrepresenting the array type. One ofgl.BYTEgl.UNSIGNED_BYTEgl.SHORT,gl.UNSIGNED_SHORTgl.FLOAT
gl.VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_NORMALIZED-
Returns a
GLbooleanthat is true if fixed-point data types are normalized for the vertex attribute array at the givenindex. gl.CURRENT_VERTEX_ATTRIB-
Returns a
Float32Array(with 4 elements) representing the current value of the vertex attribute at the givenindex.
When using a WebGL 2 context, the following values are available additionally:
gl.VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_INTEGER-
Returns a
GLbooleanindicating whether an integer data type is in the vertex attribute array at the givenindex. gl.VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_DIVISOR-
Returns a
GLintdescribing the frequency divisor used for instanced rendering.
When using the
ANGLE_instanced_arraysextension:ext.VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_DIVISOR_ANGLE-
Returns a
GLintdescribing the frequency divisor used for instanced rendering.
Return value
Returns the requested vertex attribute information (as specified with
pname).
Examples
gl.getVertexAttrib(0, gl.VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_BUFFER_BINDING);
