The WebGLRenderingContext.attachShader() method of the WebGL API attaches either a fragment or vertex WebGLShader
to a WebGLProgram
.
Syntax
void gl.attachShader(program, shader);
Parameters
program
- A
WebGLProgram
. shader
- A fragment or vertex
WebGLShader
.
Examples
The following code attaches pre-existing shaders to a WebGLProgram
.
var program = gl.createProgram();
// Attach pre-existing shaders
gl.attachShader(program, vertexShader);
gl.attachShader(program, fragmentShader);
gl.linkProgram(program);
if ( !gl.getProgramParameter( program, gl.LINK_STATUS) ) {
var info = gl.getProgramInfoLog(program);
throw 'Could not compile WebGL program. \n\n' + info;
}
