WebGLRenderingContext.bindTexture()
Syntax
bindTexture(target, texture)
Parameters
- target
-
A
GLenumspecifying the binding point (target). Possible values:-
gl.TEXTURE_2D: A two-dimensional texture. -
gl.TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP: A cube-mapped texture. - When using a WebGL 2 context, the following values are available additionally:
-
gl.TEXTURE_3D: A three-dimensional texture. -
gl.TEXTURE_2D_ARRAY: A two-dimensional array texture.
-
-
- texture
-
A
WebGLTextureobject to bind.
Return value
None.
Exceptions
A gl.INVALID_ENUM error is thrown if target is not gl.TEXTURE_2D, gl.TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP, gl.TEXTURE_3D, or gl.TEXTURE_2D_ARRAY.
Examples
Binding a texture
var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas'); var gl = canvas.getContext('webgl'); var texture = gl.createTexture(); gl.bindTexture(gl.TEXTURE_2D, texture);
Getting current bindings
To check the current texture binding, query the gl.TEXTURE_BINDING_2D or gl.TEXTURE_BINDING_CUBE_MAP constants.
gl.getParameter(gl.TEXTURE_BINDING_2D);
