Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since September 2021.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on the next set of proposals for the JavaScript language. You can find a description of the proposals here.

The WEBGL_color_buffer_float extension is part of the WebGL API and adds the ability to render to 32-bit floating-point color buffers.

WebGL extensions are available using the WebGLRenderingContext.getExtension() method. For more information, see also Using Extensions in the WebGL tutorial.

Note: This extension is available to WebGL 1 contexts only. For WebGL 2, use the EXT_color_buffer_float extension.

The OES_texture_float extension implicitly enables this extension.

Constants

ext.RGBA32F_EXT: RGBA 32-bit floating-point color-renderable format.
ext.RGB32F_EXT ( Deprecated ): RGB 32-bit floating-point color-renderable format.
ext.FRAMEBUFFER_ATTACHMENT_COMPONENT_TYPE_EXT: ?
ext.UNSIGNED_NORMALIZED_EXT: ?

The internalformat parameter now accepts ext.RGBA32F_EXT and ext.RGB32F_EXT ( Deprecated ).

const ext = gl.getExtension("WEBGL_color_buffer_float");

gl.renderbufferStorage(gl.RENDERBUFFER, ext.RGBA32F_EXT, 256, 256);
