Web/API/WebGL2RenderingContext/getActiveUniformBlockParameter
This is an experimental technologyCheck the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The WebGL2RenderingContext.getActiveUniformBlockParameter()
method of the WebGL 2 API retrieves information about an active uniform block within a WebGLProgram
.
Syntax
any gl.getActiveUniformBlockParameter(program, uniformBlockIndex, pname);
Parameters
program
- A
WebGLProgram
containing the active uniform block. uniformBlockIndex
- A
GLuint
specifying the index of the active uniform block within the program. pname
- A
GLenum
specifying which information to query. Possible values:
gl.UNIFORM_BLOCK_BINDING
- Returns a
GLuint
indicating the uniform buffer binding point. gl.UNIFORM_BLOCK_DATA_SIZE
: Returns aGLuint
indicating the minimum total buffer object size.gl.UNIFORM_BLOCK_ACTIVE_UNIFORMS
: Returns aGLuint
indicating the number of active uniforms in the uniform block.gl.UNIFORM_BLOCK_ACTIVE_UNIFORM_INDICES
: Returns aUint32Array
indicating the list of active uniforms in the uniform block.gl.UNIFORM_BLOCK_REFERENCED_BY_VERTEX_SHADER
: Returns aGLboolean
indicating whether the uniform block is referenced by the vertex shader.gl.UNIFORM_BLOCK_REFERENCED_BY_FRAGMENT_SHADER
: Returns aGLboolean
indicating whether the uniform block is referenced by the fragment shader.
- Returns a
Return value
Depends on which information is requested using the pname
parameter. If an error occurs, null
is returned.
Examples
var blockSize = gl.getActiveUniformBlockParameter(program,
blockIndex, gl.UNIFORM_BLOCK_DATA_SIZE);
