WebGL2RenderingContext.drawArraysInstanced() - Web APIs 编辑

The WebGL2RenderingContext.drawArraysInstanced() method of the WebGL 2 API renders primitives from array data like the gl.drawArrays() method. In addition, it can execute multiple instances of the range of elements.

Note: When using WebGL 1, the ANGLE_instanced_arrays extension can provide this method, too.

Syntax

void gl.drawArraysInstanced(mode, first, count, instanceCount);

Parameters

mode

A GLenum specifying the type primitive to render. Possible values are:

• gl.POINTS: Draws a single dot.
• gl.LINE_STRIP: Draws a straight line to the next vertex.
• gl.LINE_LOOP: Draws a straight line to the next vertex, and connects the last vertex back to the first.
• gl.LINES: Draws a line between a pair of vertices.
• gl.TRIANGLE_STRIP
• gl.TRIANGLE_FAN
• gl.TRIANGLES: Draws a triangle for a group of three vertices.

first

A GLint specifying the starting index in the array of vector points.

count

A GLsizei specifying the number of indices to be rendered.

instanceCount

A GLsizei specifying the number of instances of the range of elements to execute.

Return value

None.

Examples

gl.drawArraysInstanced(gl.POINTS, 0, 8, 4);
