WebGLRenderingContext: getVertexAttrib() method

View on MDN ↗

Available in workers

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 GLuint specifying the index of the vertex attribute.
  • pname

    • : A GLenum specifying the information to query. Possible values:

      • gl.VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_BUFFER_BINDING

      • gl.VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_ENABLED

        • : Returns a GLboolean that is true if the vertex attribute is enabled at this index. Otherwise false.

      • gl.VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_SIZE

        • : Returns a GLint indicating the size of an element of the vertex array.

      • gl.VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_STRIDE

        • : Returns a GLint indicating the number of bytes between successive elements in the array. 0 means that the elements are sequential.

      • gl.VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_TYPE

        • : Returns a GLenum representing the array type. One of
          • gl.BYTE
          • gl.UNSIGNED_BYTE
          • gl.SHORT,
          • gl.UNSIGNED_SHORT
          • gl.FLOAT

      • gl.VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_NORMALIZED

        • : Returns a GLboolean that is true if fixed-point data types are normalized for the vertex attribute array at the given index.

      • gl.CURRENT_VERTEX_ATTRIB

        • : Returns a Float32Array (with 4 elements) representing the current value of the vertex attribute at the given index.

      When using a WebGL 2 context, the following values are available additionally:

      • gl.VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_INTEGER
        • : Returns a GLboolean indicating whether an integer data type is in the vertex attribute array at the given index.
      • gl.VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_DIVISOR
        • : Returns a GLint describing the frequency divisor used for instanced rendering.

      When using the ANGLE_instanced_arrays extension:

      • ext.VERTEX_ATTRIB_ARRAY_DIVISOR_ANGLE
        • : Returns a GLint describing the frequency divisor used for instanced rendering.

Return value

Returns the requested vertex attribute information (as specified with pname).
