WebGLVertexArrayObject
This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.
The WebGLVertexArrayObject
interface is part of the WebGL 2 API, represents vertex array objects (VAOs) pointing to vertex array data, and provides names for different sets of vertex data.
When working with WebGLVertexArrayObject
objects, the following methods are useful:
WebGL2RenderingContext.createVertexArray()
WebGL2RenderingContext.deleteVertexArray()
WebGL2RenderingContext.isVertexArray()
WebGL2RenderingContext.bindVertexArray()
WebGL 1: The OES_vertex_array_object
extension allows you to use vertex array objects in a WebGL 1 context.
Examples
var vao = gl.createVertexArray(); gl.bindVertexArray(vao); // ... // calls to bindBuffer or vertexAttribPointer // which will be "recorded" in the VAO // ...

to true
in about:config.
[2] To use an experimental implementation of WebGL 2 in Chrome, you have to start Chrome with the runtime flag --enable-unsafe-es3-apis
.
