The WebGLRenderingContext.bindRenderbuffer() method of the WebGL API binds a given WebGLRenderbuffer to a target, which must be gl.RENDERBUFFER.
Syntax
void gl.bindRenderbuffer(target, renderbuffer);
Parameters
- target
- A
GLenumspecifying the binding point (target). Possible values:gl.RENDERBUFFER: Buffer data storage for single images in a renderable internal format.
- renderbuffer
- A
WebGLRenderbufferobject to bind.
Return value
None.
Exceptions
A gl.INVALID_ENUM error is thrown if target is not gl.RENDERBUFFER.
Examples
Binding a renderbuffer
var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
var gl = canvas.getContext('webgl');
var renderbuffer = gl.createRenderbuffer();
gl.bindRenderbuffer(gl.RENDERBUFFER, renderbuffer);
Getting current bindings
To check the current renderbuffer binding, query the RENDERBUFFER_BINDING constant.
gl.getParameter(gl.RENDERBUFFER_BINDING);
