WebGLRenderingContext: copyTexImage2D() method
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.
The WebGLRenderingContext.copyTexImage2D() method of the
WebGL API copies pixels from the current
WebGLFramebuffer into a 2D texture image.
Syntax
copyTexImage2D(target, level, internalformat, x, y, width, height, border)
Parameters
target-
A
GLenumspecifying the binding point (target) of the active texture. Possible values:gl.TEXTURE_2D: A two-dimensional texture.gl.TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_POSITIVE_X: Positive X face for a cube-mapped texture.gl.TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_NEGATIVE_X: Negative X face for a cube-mapped texture.gl.TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_POSITIVE_Y: Positive Y face for a cube-mapped texture.gl.TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_NEGATIVE_Y: Negative Y face for a cube-mapped texture.gl.TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_POSITIVE_Z: Positive Z face for a cube-mapped texture.gl.TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_NEGATIVE_Z: Negative Z face for a cube-mapped texture.
level-
A
GLintspecifying the level of detail. Level 0 is the base image level and level n is the n-th mipmap reduction level. internalformat-
A
GLenumspecifying the color components in the texture. Possible values:gl.ALPHA: Discards the red, green and blue components and reads the alpha component.gl.RGB: Discards the alpha components and reads the red, green and blue components.gl.RGBA: Red, green, blue and alpha components are read from the color buffer.gl.LUMINANCE: Each color component is a luminance component, alpha is 1.0.gl.LUMINANCE_ALPHA: Each component is a luminance/alpha component.
x-
A
GLintspecifying the x coordinate of the lower left corner where to start copying. y-
A
GLintspecifying the y coordinate of the lower left corner where to start copying. width-
A
GLsizeispecifying the width of the texture. height-
A
GLsizeispecifying the height of the texture. border-
A
GLintspecifying the width of the border. Must be 0.
Return value
None (undefined).
Examples
gl.copyTexImage2D(gl.TEXTURE_2D, 0, gl.RGBA, 0, 0, 512, 512, 0);
