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.
* Some parts of this feature may have varying levels of support.
Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.
The WebGL2RenderingContext.bufferSubData() method of the
WebGL API updates a subset of a buffer
object's data store.
Syntax
bufferSubData(target, dstByteOffset, srcData)
bufferSubData(target, dstByteOffset, srcData, srcOffset)
bufferSubData(target, dstByteOffset, srcData, srcOffset, length)
Parameters
target-
A
GLenumspecifying the binding point (target). 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.
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.
dstByteOffset-
A
GLintptrspecifying an offset in bytes where the data replacement will start. srcDataOptional-
A
TypedArrayor aDataViewthat views anArrayBufferorSharedArrayBufferthat will be copied into the data store. srcOffsetOptional-
A
GLuintspecifying the element index offset where to start reading the buffer. lengthOptional-
A
GLuintdefaulting to 0, where 0 meansbufferSubDatashould calculate the length.
Return value
None (undefined).
Exceptions
- A
gl.INVALID_VALUEerror is thrown if the data would be written past the end of the buffer or ifdataisnull. - A
gl.INVALID_ENUMerror is thrown iftargetis not one of the allowed enums.
