The WebGLRenderingContext
method createShader()
of the WebGL API creates a WebGLShader
that can then be configured further using WebGLRenderingContext.shaderSource()
and WebGLRenderingContext.compileShader()
.
Syntax
WebGLShader gl.createShader(type);
Parameters
type
- Either
gl.VERTEX_SHADER
orgl.FRAGMENT_SHADER
Examples
See WebGLShader
for usage and examples.
