WebGLRenderingContext.framebufferTexture2D()

The WebGLRenderingContext.framebufferTexture2D() method of the WebGL API attaches a texture to a WebGLFramebuffer.

void gl.framebufferTexture2D(target, attachment, textarget, texture, level);

target

A GLenum specifying the binding point (target). Possible values:

• gl.FRAMEBUFFER: Collection buffer data storage of color, alpha, depth and stencil buffers used to render an image.
• When using a WebGL 2 context, the following values are available additionally:
  • gl.DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER: Used as a destination for drawing, rendering, clearing, and writing operations.
  • gl.READ_FRAMEBUFFER: Used as a source for reading operations.
  When binding, gl.FRAMEBUFFER sets both the gl.DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER and gl.READ_FRAMEBUFFER binding points. When referencing, gl.FRAMEBUFFER refers to the gl.DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER binding

attachment

A GLenum specifying the attachment point for the texture. Possible values:

• gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT0: Attaches the texture to the framebuffer's color buffer.
• gl.DEPTH_ATTACHMENT: Attaches the texture to the framebuffer's depth buffer.
• gl.STENCIL_ATTACHMENT: Attaches the texture to the framebuffer's stencil buffer.
• When using a WebGL 2 context, the following values are available additionally:
  • gl.DEPTH_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT: depth and stencil buffer.
  • gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT1
gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT2
gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT3
gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT4
gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT5
gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT6
gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT7
gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT8
gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT9
gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT10
gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT11
gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT12
gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT13
gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT14
gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT15
• When using the WEBGL_draw_buffers extension:
  • ext.COLOR_ATTACHMENT0_WEBGL (same as gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT0)
    ext.COLOR_ATTACHMENT1_WEBGL
ext.COLOR_ATTACHMENT2_WEBGL
ext.COLOR_ATTACHMENT3_WEBGL
ext.COLOR_ATTACHMENT4_WEBGL
ext.COLOR_ATTACHMENT5_WEBGL
ext.COLOR_ATTACHMENT6_WEBGL
ext.COLOR_ATTACHMENT7_WEBGL
ext.COLOR_ATTACHMENT8_WEBGL
ext.COLOR_ATTACHMENT9_WEBGL
ext.COLOR_ATTACHMENT10_WEBGL
ext.COLOR_ATTACHMENT11_WEBGL
ext.COLOR_ATTACHMENT12_WEBGL
ext.COLOR_ATTACHMENT13_WEBGL
ext.COLOR_ATTACHMENT14_WEBGL
ext.COLOR_ATTACHMENT15_WEBGL
• When using the WEBGL_depth_texture extension:
  • gl.DEPTH_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT: Depth and stencil buffer data storage.

textarget

A GLenum specifying the texture target. Possible values:

• gl.TEXTURE_2D: A 2D image.
• gl.TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_POSITIVE_X: Image for the positive X face of the cube.
• gl.TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_NEGATIVE_X: Image for the negative X face of the cube.
• gl.TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_POSITIVE_Y: Image for the positive Y face of the cube.
• gl.TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_NEGATIVE_Y: Image for the negative Y face of the cube.
• gl.TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_POSITIVE_Z: Image for the positive Z face of the cube.
• gl.TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_NEGATIVE_Z: Image for the negative Z face of the cube.

texture

A WebGLTexture object whose image to attach.

level

A GLint specifying the mipmap level of the texture image to be attached. Must be 0.

None.

• A gl.INVALID_ENUM error is thrown if
  • target is not gl.FRAMEBUFFER.
  • attachment is not one of the accepted attachment points.
  • textarget is not one of the accepted texture targets.
• A gl.INVALID_VALUE error is thrown if level is not 0.
• A gl.INVALID_OPERATION error is thrown if texture isn't 0 or the name of an existing texture object.

gl.framebufferTexture2D(gl.FRAMEBUFFER, gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, gl.TEXTURE_2D, texture, 0);
